Current UH undergraduates must be accepted into the business program to start a business major.
How to Apply
Current UH undergraduates have a simple set of steps to apply:
- Complete (or be enrolled in the final requirements at the time of application) all business admissions requirements
- Submit an internal application by the deadline
Deadlines
| Semester of desired admission to Shidler | Application link opens | Priority Deadline | Final Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall | Jan. 15 | March 1st, 12pm HST (noon) | April 1st, 12pm HST (noon) |
| Spring | Aug. 15 | October 1st, 12pm HST (noon) | November 1st, 12pm HST (noon) |
All current UH students should apply by the priority deadline.
Applications filed by the Priority Deadline will receive a decision BEFORE the start of registration for the upcoming semester, provided all grades and credits are in STAR.
Applications received after the priority deadline and before the final deadline MAY NOT receive a decision until after the start of registration, which may impact course availability.
Transfer Course Work
Students who have taken pre-business core classes at schools outside of the UH system may need to submit a program petition (and detailed course syllabus; in some cases an unofficial transcript, as well) for course equivalency.
- All petitions must be received by December 1st for Spring admission and by June 1st for Fall admission.
Students taking classes within the UH system can check the articulation of their transfer courses on the UH General Education Transfer and Articulation Website.
Students who have taken AP, CLEP, or IB courses and exams should submit an official copy of their scores to Manoa Admissions for potential waivers or credits.
