Community Colleges hosting UH Transfer Days

WHAT: Kapi‘olani Community College hosts UH Transfer Day, one of many across the state. This is a quick and easy way for University of Hawaiʻi community college students who are on track to graduate with an associate’s degree in May 2018 to apply to UH Mānoa, UH Hilo or UH West Oʻahu with no application fee attached. The fee otherwise is $70 at UH Mānoa, and $50 each at UH Hilo and UH West Oʻahu.

WHY: To encourage more students to transfer to the four-year campuses and make the transition easier

HOW: UH Transfer Days offer students a one-stop-shop event to meet and greet with faculty.

WHO: UH officials from the admissions offices as well as from individual programs/schools at the 4-year campuses provide students hands-on assistance with the “auto-admission” application process; answer questions about college offerings, requirements, tuition and financial aid; and provide information about specific programs.

It’s just a great opportunity for students to check out the different programs, not have to pay the fee and look at really what theyʻre interested into transferring, especially the liberal arts students.

(20 seconds)

For UH in general, the advantage of doing the Transfer Day is an opportunity to share out programs that are specific to their areas and really highlight students that have been doing well and what the programʻs about, and so itʻs more in-depth. It’s just a deeper dive into what UH really has to offer.

Transfer Day I think is really important I think not a lot of students are aware of it. For me, this year is really important because I’m wanting to transfer to UH Mānoa,

and being able to see like people working in the field saying like, okay, this is like how I used my associate’s degree for my career path for what I did.

(18 seconds)

Without it I think a lot of students would be at a disadvantage because they wouldn’t know where to go, like and some of them don’t have the courage, cause like, they think they know or theyʻre too afraid to ask, so I think like that having this open fair like this is really advantageous for students, in that regard.
