Lower tuition rates make UH Community College summer classes more affordable

Registration for summer courses at a lowered tuition rate for Hawaiʻi residents is open at all seven University of Hawai‘i Community Colleges, providing students with an accelerated and cost-effective way to earn credits. Hawaiʻi residents pay just $131 per credit (normally $248), and can use this opportunity to save money, get ahead academically and explore new classes—all in a shorter time frame.

Unlike the standard fall and spring semesters, the summer term at all seven UH Community Colleges is condensed into two six week sessions or one eight-week session. This allows students to complete courses more quickly while maintaining flexibility in their schedules. Students are encouraged to enroll early as classes fill up quickly.
