Hawaii offers guaranteed admission to increase the number of high school seniors who attend college
The Direct2UH initiative guarantees admission to UH community colleges and select campuses for DOE seniors with 2.7 GPA, aiming to boost college enrollment above the state average.
- This month, the University of Hawaii and Department of Education launched Direct2UH, guaranteeing DOE seniors admission to the system's seven community colleges with a free, simplified application.
- Low FAFSA completion and attendance rates prompted the initiative, as just over half of Hawaii graduates attend college versus 63% nationally, and less than half of DOE seniors completed FAFSA last year.
- Recent UH data show transfer interest but low completion, as roughly 40% of community college students want four-year campuses but only a quarter transfer, so UH is aligning general education across its 10 campuses.
