Responsible Office: Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy
Governing Board of Regents Policy 5.214, Student and Credit Transfer within the University
Review Date: June 2029

I. Purpose

The purpose of EP 5.209 is to carry out the intent of the Board of Regents’ policy to make the student transfer experience simple and predictable (Board of Regents Policy RP 5.214).

This policy provides the guidelines for transfer within the University of Hawai`i (UH) system, including (1) the principles and assumptions underlying the policy, (2) the transfer and applicability of academic credit, including acceptance of the UH Associate in Arts degree as fulfilling UH baccalaureate admission and general education requirements, (3) the transfer of students, (4) articulation of courses and programs, (5) lead responsibilities, and (6) related policy issues.

II. Definitions

Transfer – the process of moving academic credits from a program at one postsecondary institution to a program at another. Students may transfer vertically (two-year to four-year), horizontally (two- year to two-year, four-year to four-year) or in reverse (four-year to two-year).

Articulation – agreements that guide the transfer of students and typically address the transfer of credit, specific courses, packages of courses, and related academic requirements.

Selective Admissions Program – a selective admissions program is a program with program-specific admissions requirements and application (e.g., minimum number of earned credits, minimum class standing, completion of specific courses or tests, grade point ratio requirements, etc.).

Pinning – the process of creating a four-year degree pathway from a UH Community College to a four-year campus is called pinning, meaning that a student can “pin” (or indicate) their future four-year major, even while at a Community College

III. Executive Policy

Principles and Assumptions
1. Planning for student success
  Campus, college, or program curricular changes must be made under a “Hold Harmless” principle. Students who maintain continuous enrollment in a program of study will not be required to modify their programs of study to accommodate changes in academic policy and curriculum at campuses, colleges, or in programs that occur during their programs of study. When conflicts or discrepancies emerge as a result of changes in the major or general education requirements between when a student begins at a campus and when they declare their major (meaning the difference between the catalog year of their matriculation and the catalog year of their major declaration) these issues will be resolved with the best interest of the student in mind while upholding requirements of the University of Hawaiʻi System. Provision may be made for medical or other emergency exceptions to continuous enrollment by appeal to the appropriate administrator at the campus involved.
2. Functioning as a System
  The University of Hawai‘i System is a comprehensive statewide higher education system offering instruction in a variety of programs located at campuses on each of the major islands of the state. The University of Hawai‘i System is committed to functioning effectively as a system. This requires facilitating the informed and transparent transfer of courses for students who desire to move within the University of Hawai‘i System in order to meet their educational objectives. University of Hawai‘i campuses are required by Board policy to eliminate unreasonable barriers to transfer (see BOR Policy 5.214).
3. Mission Differentiation
  The distinct contributions that campuses make toward meeting the educational needs of the State of Hawai‘i require that campuses offer courses and course selections aligned with these functions and that they employ admission and transfer criteria consistent with their distinct functions. For students wishing to transfer efficiently throughout the system, effective advising and counseling regarding such distinctions are essential.
4. Dynamic Academic Environment
  An institution’s curriculum is not a static entity; as fields of study evolve, courses, credentials, and degree programs are refined and changed. In addition, University of Hawai‘i programs and departments maintain active assessment processes intended to inform curriculum management. A natural byproduct of regular assessment and curriculum management is a dynamic academic environment responsive to students’ needs and industry modernization. UH System campuses continue to improve programs to include thoughtful growth, forward-thinking curricula and innovative pedagogy.
5. Focus on Transparency
  In order to facilitate informed and transparent transfer of students across a dynamic academic system, communication among programs and departments across the system must be regular and thorough. Accurate information about campus, college, degree, certificate, and major requirements for each campus must be readily accessible to students, faculty, counselors and advisors across the system. Likewise, advising and counseling services on all campuses must be kept informed and updated of programmatic requirements across the University of Hawai‘i System. Planned curriculum changes may impact current students’ course selection and thus it is critical that programmatic changes are made in dialogue with system counterparts to minimize the negative impact on students.
6. Campus Responsibility for Curriculum
  Within the provisions of Board of Regents and University executive policies, each University of Hawai‘i campus has the authority and responsibility to determine its own curriculum, degree requirements, and related academic policies, and to ensure the integrity of its campus-based credentials. As a result, the curricula of the University of Hawai‘i campuses and colleges are a reflection of the wide variety of available programs of study and the knowledge, skills, interests and educational philosophy of their faculty, staff, and administration. Planned curriculum changes may impact current students’ course selection, and thus, it is critical that programmatic changes are made in dialogue with system counterparts to minimize the negative impact on students.
7. Coordination and Communication
  Proposed changes in general education or graduation requirements and other academic policies at one campus, college or program which affect students transferring from other University of Hawai‘i campuses must involve prior consultation with faculty and administrators affected by the changes. Consultation implies timely and active discussion with all affected parties prior to a final decision on the proposed change and the resolution of any possible articulation and transfer issues that may result from the proposed changes. Campus-level decisions over academic programs and campus-specific requirements shall facilitate seamless student transfer.
8. Role of Articulation
  A primary purpose of articulation is to facilitate the seamless transfer of students and credits from one campus to another to meet core, major, certificate, degree or graduation requirements. Articulation policies and agreements are essential for a University system of campuses that operates with individual campus authority over curricular content and shared responsibility for academic policies. Such policies and procedures assist in the smooth progression of students toward degree programs in an environment of evolving curricular requirements. Articulation policy and practice must be implemented in a way that is fair to students and ensures ample time for notice and discussion with all University of Hawai‘i campuses prior to changes. Articulation is a complex matter and must involve faculty, staff, and administration.
9. Accreditation and Guidelines for Good Practice
  The University of Hawai‘i System and campus policies and practices for the transfer of students and credits will conform to the standards of professional and institutional accreditors (WSCUC, ACCJC) and, insofar as possible, will be consistent with the Joint Statement on Transfer and Award of Academic Credit adopted by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation (COPA), the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), and the American Council on Education (ACE).
10. General Education
  General education is fully articulated across the University of Hawai‘i System and shall transfer seamlessly across the system.
11. Faculty Involvement
  Articulation of curricula for the purposes of determining transfer credits is the responsibility of the faculty. Faculty will apply their expertise to the evaluation of credits for the transfer and articulation process in collaboration with their campus transfer specialists.
12. Transfer Advising
  Appropriate and timely academic advising is essential for all students and is particularly critical for students with baccalaureate degree goals who begin their careers at University of Hawai‘i Community Colleges. At the point a student at a University of Hawai‘i Community College has declared the intent to major with a four-year degree pathway, they should be provided with transfer advising jointly between the two-year and the four-year counselor/advisors to help identify the appropriate point of transfer. The point of transfer may not always coincide with the granting of a two-year degree.
13. STAR
  STAR is the definitive source by which campuses will determine if classified, degree-seeking undergraduate students have met the degree requirements for graduation.
14. Student Responsibilities
  Successful transfer requires the active involvement of the student. Students must engage in the transfer process and avail themselves of available information and resources. As partners in the transfer advising process, students are expected to actively learn about courses/programs/majors, create an educational plan, and see an advisor/counselor regularly for academic advising.
Student Transfers
1. Upon Entry to a University of Hawai‘i Campus
  1. Transfer of Previously Earned Credits
    1. The University of Hawai‘i systemwide transfer evaluation system (TES) is designed to provide a consistent and transparent process for evaluating previously earned credits. By utilizing system platforms and established student learning outcomes, the evaluation process aims to ensure that transfer students receive appropriate credit for their coursework, facilitating a smoother transition into their academic environment.
    2. Once evaluation and acceptance of credits earned at a regionally accredited non-UH institution has been processed by any campus, the decision will be shared with the other UH campuses to ensure the course aligns across both two- and four-year campuses. Transfer equivalency decisions will be honored by other campuses.
    3. In the case of a disagreement assessing transfer credit, a campus may request a new review of their transfer credits. In the event of a disagreement on previously awarded or unawarded transfer equivalency decisions, the decision will be made by the University Council on Articulation.
  2. Awarding of Advanced Placement (AP) Credits
    1. In accordance with American Council on Education (ACE) credit-granting recommendations, each UH campus shall award at least three (3) course credits to students who have earned a minimum score of three (3) on any Advanced Placement (AP) exam.
    2. Campuses receiving transfer students shall recognize the credits and AP course equivalency awarded by the sending campus.
    3. In support of student success, campuses shall strive toward establishing consistent system-wide AP credit equivalencies whenever possible so as to ensure a seamless student transfer experience.
  3. Awarding of International Baccalaureate (IB) Credits
    1. In accordance with American Council on Education (ACE) credit-granting recommendations, each UH campus shall award at least three (3) course credits to students who have earned a minimum score of five (5) on any International Baccalaureate Higher Level exam.
    2. Campuses receiving transfer students shall recognize the credits and IB course equivalency awarded by the sending campus.
    3. In support of student success, campuses shall strive toward establishing consistent system-wide IB credit equivalencies whenever possible so as to ensure a seamless student transfer experience.
  4. Awarding of College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Credits
    CLEP may be used as a method for assessing credit for prior learning including, but not limited to, service in the armed forces, paid or unpaid employment, or other demonstrated competency or learning.
    1. In accordance with the American Council on Education (ACE) credit-granting recommendations, each UH campus shall award at least three (3) course credits to students who have earned a minimum score of 50 on any CLEP exam.
    2. Each campus shall have discretion and authority in setting higher required minimum CLEP scores as equivalencies to specific higher-level courses at their campus (e.g. a minimum score of 60 rather than 50 for 200-level language classes).
    3. Campuses receiving transfer students shall recognize the credits and CLEP course equivalency awarded by the sending campus.
    4. In support of student success, campuses shall strive toward establishing consistent system-wide CLEP credit equivalencies whenever possible so as to ensure a seamless student transfer experience.
  5. Awarding of Credits for Military Trainings and Occupations
    1. Each campus may use the American Council on Education’s Military Guide to award course credits and equivalencies for military trainings, occupations, and experiences. Previous equivalency determinations recorded in the Military Guide platform by a UH campus shall be honored by all UH campuses. If a specific training or occupation has not been previously evaluated by a UH campus, the equivalency determination of a campus’ peer or benchmark institution(s) may serve as a guide.
    2. As an alternative process to III.B.1.e.1) above, a campus may work with local military bases and branch representatives to establish common equivalencies for certain military occupational specializations (MOS). Such determinations made by a campus in consultation with military personnel shall be honored by all other UH campuses.
    3. Each campus shall strive to maximize the specific course credits and course equivalencies awarded to military learners who submit a Joint Services Transcript to a UH campus.
  6. Credit for Prior Learning (Prior Learning Assessment Programs)
    This policy does not prohibit the use of Credit for Prior Learning Programs or Prior Learning Assessment Programs.
  7. Establishing a Pathway or Declaring a Major for a Four-Year Degree
    Students who begin at a two-year campus within the University of Hawai‘i System with the intent of transferring to a four-year campus and who have decided upon a four-year degree pathway shall be able to identify their intended major in STAR and lock in their degree requirements. The process of creating a four-year degree pathway is called pinning, meaning that a student can “pin” (or indicate) their future four-year major, even while at a UH Community College. The intent of early declaration of four-year degree pathways is to make the student transfer experience simple and predictable. Similar to four-year students declaring a major at their home institution, pinning intends to create equity for transfer students. Pinning does not equate to admission to any selective admissions program with specific criteria for admission.
    1. When a program of study is pinned, the catalog year for the four-year degree pathway is established. The student maintains that catalog year, provided that:
      1. the student maintains continuous enrollment;
      2. the student transfers within five years of pinning;
      3. the student does not elect to graduate under a more recent catalog;
      4. the program of study is not substantively modified by an articulation agreement;
      5. the program of study is not a selective admissions program.
    2. Only designated advisors or authorized faculty or staff are able to establish the pinned pathway including transfer advising.
    3. When a student establishes a degree path, all transfer credits and general education requirements are designed to achieve the four-year degree and STAR will identify the optimal point of transfer, which may be prior to the completion of the two-year degree. In the case of transfer before completion of the two-year degree, the student may be eligible for reverse transfer.
    4. Pinning at a University of Hawai‘i Community College does not impact the designation of a student’s home campus or major.
  8. Academic Suspension
    1. Students on academic suspension from a University of Hawai‘i campus may either sit out the semester or attend another accredited institution.
    2. To return to the University of Hawai‘i, students must meet the admission requirements of the specific campus including any additional criteria for selective admissions programs.
2. Upon transfer from one campus to another within the University of Hawai‘i System
  1. Transfer students will be admitted to the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa, Hilo, and West O‘ahu based on the following criteria:
    1. Upon completion of requirements for admission and notification of acceptance; OR
    2. Upon Automatic Admission: A student may be admitted automatically from a University of Hawai‘i Community College upon completion of any Associate in Arts (AA) degree or upon completion of an eligible Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree or an eligible Associate in Science (AS) degree on the Automatic Admission program list. The AA degree affords general admission to the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa, Hilo or West O‘ahu with junior standing, but does not provide admission into selective admissions programs, which may require satisfaction of additional admission requirements.
      1. Students who accept the automatic admission offer will be exempted from paying an application fee or completing an application for admission to the four-year campus.
      2. The Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy monitors the Automatic Admission process.
      3. Automatic admission is extended to a student according to the parameters and eligibility criteria established in the Automatic Admissions Operating Guidelines maintained by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy.
      4. Students who have current academic actions (suspension or dismissal) at a four-year campus are not eligible for automatic admission.
  2. Transfer between any UH campus: The campus-specific procedure to transfer within the UH System is outlined at the destination institution for changing home campus.
  3. Transfer of Courses and Credits
    1. Courses and credits earned by a recipient of a bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S.-based institution (e.g., WSCUC) are accepted as fulfilling the general education requirements at all University of Hawai‘i baccalaureate degree-granting institutions.
      1. Those holding a bachelor’s degree from foreign institutions will be credited for attainment of the UH general education requirements once they have completed the Hawaiian Knowledge requirement.
    2. Courses and credits earned by a recipient of an Associate in Arts (AA) degree from an accredited institution (e.g., ACCJC) are accepted as fulfilling the general education requirements at all University of Hawai‘i baccalaureate degree-granting institutions.
      1. Students transferring from outside of the UH System with a completed Associate in Arts degree will be credited for attainment of the UH general education requirements once they have completed the Hawaiian Knowledge requirement.
    3. In the rare case when the credits associated with a course fulfilling a general education requirement are not accepted for transfer by a receiving campus, the requirement is still considered to have been met.
    4. Within the University of Hawai‘i system, credits earned with a grade of “D” (not “D-“) or better will transfer.
    5. The student’s grade point average (GPA) is not transferable from one campus to another.
  4. Transfer of General Education Requirements
    1. Completion of general education requirements at one University of Hawai‘i campus before transferring satisfies the general education requirements at any University of Hawai‘i campus. The campus at which the student completed the requirements will verify fulfillment of the general education program.
  5. Transfer of General Education Course Designations
    1. General Education designations shall be interpreted and applied so as to ensure a seamless student transfer experience.
    2. Courses with General Education designations that transfer to another University of Hawai‘i campus shall be accepted with the sending campus’ designation.
    3. In the rare case in which the credits associated with a course fulfilling a General Education designation are not accepted for transfer by a receiving campus, the requirement is still considered to have been met.
    4. The Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy (OVPAS) coordinates meetings of any systemwide General Education bodies and provides them with logistical support.
  6. Courses
    1. Academic courses that are comparable in nature, content, and level offered by the receiving campus are transferable either as general credits or as direct course equivalencies.
      1. Courses numbered 1 – 99
        
        Unless such credit specifically applies to a degree, credit for courses numbered 1 - 99 are not transferable to a baccalaureate-level program within the University of Hawai‘i system.
        
        Should a student subsequently transfer into another program where such courses are not applicable, course credit will not count toward the new program and degree.
      2. Courses numbered 100 – 499
        
        Credit for courses numbered 100 - 499 will transfer as baccalaureate-level credit within the University of Hawai‘i system.
        
        Credit may transfer as a general elective and may not always apply to specific degree or program requirements.
    2. If one campus changes the numbering of a system-wide articulated course, all campuses must be consulted prior to any implementation and disagreements will be resolved by the University Council on Articulation.
  7. Reverse Credit Transfer within the University of Hawai‘i System
    1. Reverse transfer allows UH Community College students who transferred to a University of Hawai‘i four-year institution before completing their Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) degree to obtain that credential while progressing toward their bachelor’s degree.
    2. The University of Hawai‘i Community College system shall establish the criteria, guidelines, and process for automatic credit review and awarding of community college credentials to students who have met the community college program requirements after transferring to a University of Hawai‘i four-year institution.
Articulation Agreements
1. General Guidelines
  1. Campuses may enter into one-on-one and/or multi-campus articulation agreements.
  2. Committees that develop articulation agreements are generally from the Academic Affairs Division and include faculty members, department chairs, articulation/transfer coordinators and administrators from both participating campuses.
  3. The appropriate campus Chancellors/Provost must sign formal program articulation agreements between or among campuses.
  4. Agreements should contain provisions for periodic review and revision. Academic departments should share their reviews and revisions with impacted colleagues on other campuses (e.g., faculty from the same discipline) and plan together to meet the needs of each campus. Administrators should support and facilitate cross-campus meetings and discussions by, for example, making resources available for departments to organize multi-campus meetings to facilitate articulation.
  5. Campuses implementing curricular changes must notify other University of Hawai‘i campuses when the changes are approved. There must be at least one full academic year between notification and implementation of the approved change to allow other campuses to initiate appropriate curricular changes. Notification must happen via the campus Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs office (or at UH Mānoa, the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Excellence) and be provided to the affected department(s) on each of the campuses.
  6. Coordination and communication on revisions to curriculum must be undertaken to prevent inter-campus conflicts caused by inconsistencies in course numbering systems and to maintain the accuracy of the UH Course Transfer Database.
  7. The details of the articulation agreement shall be entered into STAR to ensure that established pathways are accurately articulated.
