ELIGIBILITY FOR GRADUATION
In determining graduation eligibility, the terms, “major courses” and “courses in the major “ and
“credits in the major” and “credits in the major” refer to the following:
(1) Courses which are trade specific, i.e., the course title or the course title or the course
description indicates that the course is specifically for students in the major (e.g., CHEM 55 for
Cosmetology Majors),
(2) Courses, whic
h satisfy program requirements and have the Alpha associated with the major
(e.g., WELD 20 for Welding program but not WELD 19).
For A.S., A.A.S., C.A. and A.T.S. programs, the final twelve (12) credits in the major (as defined
above) must be earned form Honolulu Community College. For the Applied Trades Degree, any
twelve (12) credits that may be applied to the A.A.S. degree and earned at Honolulu Community
College, including credits converted from a Honolulu Community College apprenticeship program,
will satisfy this requirement. This requirement may be waived for cause at the option of the Dean of
Academic Affairs or Chancellor. The Chancellor may approve use of credit by examination to meet
this requirement (by his/her discretion).
