The University of Hawaiʻi has launched a new transfer student website designed to make it easier for students to explore and pursue academic opportunities across UH’s 10 campuses. By centralizing key transfer information, the university aims to reduce barriers and encourage students to stay on track toward graduation—no matter where they begin and complete their UH journeys.
The new site, available at hawaii.edu/transfer, brings together critical information and resources in one easy-to-use platform. Whether students are actively planning to transfer or simply exploring program options, the site offers clear guidance, interactive tools and real advice from fellow transfer students.
“Ensuring seamless transfer across the UH System is a critical priority and I commend the work of the Academic Advising and Transfer Network (AATN) group for revitalizing this critical resource,” said Debora Halbert, UH vice president for academic strategy.
Serving thousands of students
Transfer students are a core component of the UH student body and UH System mission, with 2,314 transfer students matriculating into 4-year campuses in the fall 2024 semester, 48% of whom arrived from another UH campus.
Students will find information on the steps to transfer within the UH System, from two-year to four-year institutions and vice versa. The site also includes details about academic advising, tuition and costs, and links to the UH Transfer Database Tool, which helps students understand how their credits will transfer between campuses.
The launch of the new portal is part of a broader initiative involving the Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy, AATN and UH Information and Technology Services, intended to enhance the transfer experience and empower students to be the navigators of their own academic journeys.
It also supports President Wendy Hensel’s vision to ensure a common “baseline standard of care” for all UH students, and the university’s ongoing commitment to student success, equity and seamless academic mobility.
