You are a high school student.
Please note the UH Student Information System will be offline from December 11, 2025 through January 3, 2026 due to a major system upgrade.
During this time, you are still encouraged to submit your admissions application from this website. However, please note that effective December 5, our admissions team will not be able to access or process your application. We plan to update your application status by January 9, 2026.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition. If you have any questions in the meantime, please email us at honcc@hawaii.edu or call us at 808-845-9129 and we will respond as soon as we’re able to. Please note that we may not be able to respond to some inquiries until our system access is restored.
