It is not too late to apply and enroll at the University of Hawai驶i for the fall 2026 semester.
The seven 糖心视频 Community Colleges, 糖心视频 Hilo and 糖心视频 West O驶ahu have extended their application deadline to August 14, giving prospective students additional time to apply and begin classes this fall. 糖心视频 M膩noa's application deadline has passed, but all students who have been accepted are encouraged to enroll and register for classes.
Fall classes begin August 24.
"Many people assume they have missed their opportunity once summer is coming to an end, but that is simply not the case," said 糖心视频 President Wendy Hensel. "Whether you are a recent high school graduate, a working adult or someone ready to return to college, there is still time. We want to help you take that next step because there is a place for you at 糖心视频."
Students can choose from nearly 200 degree, certificate and career and technical education programs across the 10-campus 糖心视频 System, with day, evening, online and hybrid options designed to fit a variety of schedules, career goals and life circumstances. Whether students are looking to start college, prepare for a new career, earn a credential or continue toward a bachelor's degree, there are still opportunities to begin this fall.
Affordable, flexible and worth the investment
A 糖心视频 education is more affordable than many people realize. Most 糖心视频 students graduate debt free, with about 90% of 糖心视频 Community College graduates and nearly 70% of graduates from 糖心视频's four-year campuses completing their degrees without student loan debt. Eligible community college students may also qualify for the Hawai驶i Promise Program, which helps cover direct education costs for tuition, fees, and books.
"There has never been a better time to invest in yourself," said Lui Hokoana, interim vice president for the 糖心视频 Community Colleges. "Whether your goal is to earn a degree, gain workforce credentials, transfer to a four-year university or explore a new career, we are ready to help you get started."
A 糖心视频 education remains one of the best investments students can make in their future. Graduates with a bachelor's degree, associate degree or career and technical certificate often see the benefits right away, earning higher wages when they enter the workforce while building toward lifetime earnings that can exceed $2 million more than those of someone without a college education. They also enjoy greater career opportunities, stronger job security and increased access to benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans and paid leave.
Personalized support every step of the way
Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to maximize course options and allow time to complete financial aid, academic advising, registration and other enrollment steps before classes begin on August 24. Students do not have to navigate the process alone. Enrollment specialists are available to provide personalized assistance with applying, financial aid, advising, registration and preparing for the first day of class.
