HAW 7.208: Transfer Credit Evaluation Policy
Recommendation from the Educational Policy Committee is to
revise as follows (changes are in italics): A Ccourses
will be processed for possible transfer credits only if they could it might be applicable to the student’s
current major and if the course was completed with a grade of “D” (not “D-“) or better. However,
for s with a “D” grade will not be accepted when
a “C” or better is required for that course for graduation. When applicable, transfer credits may be counted towards the specific requirements of a
program; otherwise, they will be counted as general electives. However, neither grade points nor grade point
averages earned at other institutions are used in the
computation of the HawCC accumulative cumulative grade point average.
