UH Online connects you with over 40 online degree and certificate programs offered throughout the University of Hawaiʻi System. An online program is recognized as either fully online or hybrid (hybrid TBD at Kapi‘olani CC)
A Fully Online program is defined as an approved program of study in which all courses and instructional activities are offered online. There are no on-campus or in-person activities. There may be optional opportunities to attend a limited number of in-person events such as a program orientation and commencement ceremony.
