1. How to Apply

Follow Steps 1.1–1.3 below:

1.1 Before You Apply

Applicants must be:

Not currently enrolled at any of the UH system campuses.

Applicants must be:

  • First-time college students
  • Returning students (Welcome back, the last semester you attended school was at UH Maui College).
  • Transfer students (the last semester you attended school was with another institution and not at UH Maui College).
  • Or an Early Admission or Running Start student (a high school student admitted under the Early Admission or Running Start program).

Please note that admission to the College does not mean automatic admittance to all programs or courses.

1.2 Residency Status

Your residency status determines whether you will pay Resident or Non-Resident Tuition & Fees.

If you do not qualify as a bona fide resident of the State of Hawai’i, according to the UH regulations in effect at the time you register, you must pay nonresident tuition for your classes. Non-residents must also pay a $25.00 application fee. Compare Resident costs vs Non-Resident costs on the Tuition & Fees page.

Residency status will be determined at the time of application. You may be required to provide verifying documentation. Read residency requirements here.

1.3 Apply Online on the UH System Application Form
