Step 1: Apply to Kapi‘olani Community College

The first step in beginning your college career at KCC is completing a University of Hawai‘i (UH) System Application.

• Hard copy or On-line
• The application is FREE for Hawaii residents and $25 for non-Hawai‘i residents. (Parents/legal guardians MUST complete residency declaration on the application because it helps us determine if you are a resident of Hawai‘i.)
• Copies of your measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) shot records AND a recent tuberculosis (TB) shot (within the year prior to your first day at KCC)
• Questions about the on-line application can be directed to the Kekaulike Information and Service Center at kapinfo@hawaii.edu 808-734-9555.
• Your acceptance letter, along with a list of instructions, will be e-mailed to you after we receive your completed on-line UH System Application to KCC.

   

  Why is it important to fill out the application completely and accurately?

  Filling out the application completely and accurately will help KCC determine your residency status. This could save you lots of time and money!

   

  A complete and accurate will also speed up the time you get your acceptance to KCC. Normal processing for an application is a 1-2 weeks before you receive your acceptance letter.
