Continuing Classified UH Mānoa Students
Current UH Manoa undergraduates who want to declare a business major must meet the admissions requirements and complete a Shidler application form to be eligible to be admitted to Shidler and declare a business major.
- Until they are ready to apply to Shidler, if they wish to declare themselves as Exploratory Business, they should contact the Manoa Advising Center.
Transfer, 2nd Degree or Unclassified UH Mānoa Students
Applicants who are not current UH Manoa students must meet the admissions requirements and apply to both UH Manoa and Shidler separately (Note that UH Manoa may have earlier deadlines to apply for maximum scholarship and financial aid consideration).
- Transfers should strive to apply by the priority deadline, especially for potential spring transfers. Transfer credit evaluation can take time.
- ^We recognize that UH Manoa has later application deadlines for fall, so some external transfers may be admitted to UH Manoa for fall after April 1. We consider applications after April 1 for fall transfers on a case-by-case basis, but it is generally in your best interest to apply by the priority deadline.
- International students who are not current UH Manoa students at the time of application must submit complete applications (i.e., applications, transcripts, etc.) to both UH Manoa and Shidler by the Priority Deadline.
^High-school students seeking admission to Shidler as a freshman/first-year student should go to the DAP page.
