Hawaiʻi Community College

Hawai`i Community College is located in 3 different areas to serve our Hawai`i Island Community. The college is steeped in the concept of Kauhale – “an academic village without walls” to provide overall success for our learners, families and communities to E `imi pono or to seek excellence.

Interstate Passport

This example of a Passport Block was developed by faculty at Hawai`i Community College. This member profile was developed as an example of how learning outcome-based transfer can be mapped onto a general education curriculum. The Interstate Passport program sunset at the end of 2023, and each member institution has different policies regarding their ongoing transfer relationships. The publication of their Passport Block is a part of the evergreen resources managed by WICHE to serve as an example and should not indicate any current or ongoing transfer relationships. For more information about transfer at Hawai`i Community College please see their website at https://hawaii.hawaii.edu/.
