Senior Citizen Visitor Program

How to Register

Follow the steps listed below once you’ve submitted your application and emergency forms.

Step 1: Acceptance Notification

Notification of your acceptance to HonCC will be mailed to the address indicated on your application.  Included in the mailing will be a list of next steps that you will need to follow to register for classes.

Step 2: Submit Health Documents

Every Senior must submit a UH System Health Immunization Clearance Form (PDF). The form must be signed by a healthcare professional. Completed forms can be sent to the Admissions Office.

Step 3: Registration Passes

Your Senior Citizen Passes will be available for pick up the week of August 14, 2023 from the Admissions Office. You will be allowed to attend up to two classes per semester at Honolulu Community College. Participation in any trade related classes is not permitted at this time. All health and vaccine requirements must be met to receive your passes.

Step 4: Instructor Approval

Senior acceptance into any class is subject to the instructor’s approval. You must obtain approval for every class you wish to attend as a senior participant. You may seek instructor approval to attend a class as a senior participant by presenting the senior citizen pass to the instructor beginning August 21, 2023. The instructor must sign off on the Senior Citizen Pass. Submit your signed Senior Citizen Pass(es) to the Admissions Office no later than August 25, 2023 to complete the application process. 

Step 5: Review University of Hawai‘i Policies

No tuition and fees will be charged for the classes you attend as a senior citizen participant. You are expected to comply with all University of Hawai‘i policies while attending classes as a senior citizen participant at the campus.

No record of your enrollment at the College will be kept unless you enroll as a regular student and pay the applicable tuition and fees for other credit classes. You will not receive any credit for classes that you attend as a senior participant. Senior participants may not request credit for attended classes at a later date.

Senior citizen participants are not eligible to receive a UH Student ID card. Library resources and services may be limited or restricted, such as access to online subscription resources (i.e. research databases). Senior participants are eligible for a Library Community Card to check out physical books from the collection.
