University of Hawaii at Manoa
THE PRICE OF PARADISE: INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS SEEKING EXCHANGE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA, 2009-2010
PLAN B: A very limited number of students can be accepted on Plan B. Students from schools offering Plan A cannot be accepted on Plan B, unless UHM is sending a Plan B student to that school.
TUITION: Tuition will be approximately $3,500 per semester, including campus fees (check nse.org for updated financial information). Only a very limited installment plan is available for tuition; however, Plan A students receiving financial aid from the home school can have tuition deferred until that aid arrives
PLAN A AND FINANCIAL AID: Most students accepted on Plan A will need to apply for financial aid from UHM. Be sure to list its FAFSA code on the FAFSA or renewal FAFSA as early as possible, and respond promptly to all communications from the UHM financial aid office (at least two months are required to process aid applications AFTER the student's file is complete, including verification process, etc.)
CAMPUS and OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING: Limited campus housing is available (approximately 100 spaces for all exchange students). Those students receiving permission to apply for campus housing must follow up promptly. The range of costs is approximately $2,000 to $2,800 per semester (depending on hall, for a double room; this does not include meal plan purchase, which is required for the residence halls, not for campus apartments). Those who sign a year contract (including winter break) will pay a penalty if they cancel the spring portion. A deposit is due upon assignment (usually sometime mid-summer.) See www.housing.hawaii.edu for the latest information and rates. A few students willing to live off-campus will be accepted (see www.housing.hawaii.edu/och), mostly on Plan A. However, off-campus rentals are scarce and expensive (in some years average Honolulu rents have exceeded those of New York City and San Francisco.)
PARKING: There is NO CAMPUS PARKING for NSE students.
NSE FEE: The NSE admissions/services fee has been raised from $115 to $125.
CATALOG: For advising purposes, the UHM course catalog is available at our website, www.catalog.hawaii.edu. We will mail the fall schedule of courses as soon as it is available, around April 20; it is also posted on-line at that time, at www.hawaii.edu/myuh/manoa.
REGISTRATION PRIORITY: Registration for exchange students is quite late (with transfers). There is no guarantee of getting courses, and students need much flexibility in courses they plan to take as some will be closed by the time they register. In general, we are not a good exchange campus for seniors. If a major is not listed on the searchable majors list on nse.org, it is not available to exchange students. UPPER DIVISION BUSINESS COURSES ARE CLOSED TO EXCHANGE STUDENTS.
For questions, the UHM exchange coordinator can be reached at: sandyd@hawaii.edu (12/08)
University of Kentucky
The University of Kentucky WILL ACCEPT incoming students into the BUSINESS program. (11/08)
University of New Mexico
The University of New Mexico has changed from Even to OPEN in accepting exchanges for 2009-2010. (11/08)
University of Utah
The University of Utah requires a 2.6 GPA. (11/08)
