D. AP Exam Credits
The pdf linked below explains what you may receive credit for based on your AP exam scores. Math
and Chemistry AP exam credits are explained in the previous placement exams sections.
https://manoa.hawaii.edu/admissions/pdf/AP.pdf
Course credits earned based on the above UHM AP factsheet may or may not fulfill requirements
towards your engineering degree. Discuss credits earned with an advisor.
Students will need to have their official AP exam scores sent directly from the College Board to
UH Mānoa Admissions to have their credits entered on their UH Mānoa student record in STAR. AP
exam scores usually do not reach UH Mānoa until sometime in July. It can take a few weeks to be
updated in STAR contact UHM Admissions to check on status.
E. College Credits (Early College or Transfer Credits)
● The Office of Admissions handles transfer credit evaluations for college courses taken at other
institutions/campuses.
● The student should have all of their previous college/university send the official transcript(s)
with final grades for all their previous college coursework directly to UH Mānoa Office of
Admissions.
● Once Admissions receives the official transcripts, they will work with appropriate departments
to evaluate equivalencies and enter the equivalent course credits onto the UH Mānoa student
record in STAR.
Students may look up their transfer credits using the UH System Transfer Credit Database linked
below. The database only contains courses that were previously evaluated. If your course is not listed
in the database, it will be properly evaluated when you submit your official transcripts to UHM
Admissions. Contact an advisor if any questions arise.

STAR GPS will not allow registration of math and chemistry courses without the placement exam score
or AP/college credits posted to a student’s STAR record.
But students may and should register for all other courses as soon as their registration opens.
We recommend that incoming students prioritize taking the highest math and chem they place into,
and add the Eng 100 and/or the other general education courses for a total of 12‐15 credits in their first
semester.
General education courses are flexible and can be replaced by any other general education
requirement. Review the general education section for more details. Here are common general
education courses that you could sign up for:
● Intro to Economics (DS) = Economics 120, 130 or 131
● Principles of Public Speaking (DA) = COMG 251
● Global & Multicultural Perspectives (FGA, FGB, FGC) = YOUR CHOICE
*English (ENG) 100 is only open to freshmen at UHM. Students must complete Eng 100 in their
freshman year (before they reach 30 credits) or they will need to take it during summer school or at a
community college.
15
2023-2024 College of Engineering Undergraduate Handbook Return to Table of Contents
English 100 (Eng 100) classes fill up quickly so if you cannot get a seat for Fall, you should plan
to take it in the Spring semester of freshman year and replace it with another General Education
course.
**Engr 100 is our Engineering Freshman Seminar course which is an optional (not considered “in plan”
by STAR but highly recommended to take) 1 credit, CR/NC (credit/no credit) course intended to
familiarize incoming freshmen with college academic success, career preparation, and the engineering
disciplines. It is highly encouraged to take this course in addition to the Math, Chem, and other general
education courses.
Engineering 100 (Engr 100) is highly encouraged for first time freshmen engineering students.
We use this course to build community amongst our engineering freshmen and connect them with
upper classmen, faculty, and the college of engineering.
Incoming Transfer Students
Transfer students enter the program at any point in the curriculum, which is determined by the transfer
credits they receive as evaluated by UHM. It is critically important for transfer students to have their
previous colleges/universities send their final official transcripts directly to UHM Admissions. This
begins the transfer credit evaluation process by UHM Admissions.
STAR GPS will not allow registration of courses that require prerequisites until the transfer credits for
those prerequisites are posted to a student’s STAR record. The posting of transfer course credits is
handled by the UHM Admissions.
1. Be sure official transcripts were sent to UHM admissions directly from previous schools.
a. If unsure if the transcripts were received or it is taking long to see your credits, contact
UHM Admissions for an update.
b. Academic advisors will have difficulty assisting with course plans without the transfer
credits posted in STAR.
2. Login to STAR and check to see if the transfer credits are showing on the Transcript.
3. Try planning yourself! Get the appropriate major check sheet and check off the boxes for the
courses that you see you received credit for on the STAR transcript.
4. Meet with an academic advisor to discuss your transfer credits and curriculum, and plan your next
courses.
a. STAR Balance Appointments: star.hawaii.edu/appointment/login.jsp?groupId=engr
b. In STAR Balance select any Engineering Advisor with Non-Freshmen/Transfer
label
5. STAR GPS registration will make course recommendations based on the student’s
curriculum. But it won’t take into account credit load and placement exam scores or
AP/transfer credits until they are posted to your record. Work with your advisor to plan
for your particular situation.

1. Academic Calendar & Deadlines
Important University-wide Dates and Deadlines are listed on the UHM Academic Calendar which is
available and updated by the UHM Office of the Registrar.
https://manoa.hawaii.edu/registrar/academic-calendar/
Deadlines are important and are strictly enforced by the University and College of Engineering. The
University and College only accept appeals for extenuating circumstances. Approval of appeals are not
guaranteed.
2. Academic Policies
Grade Policy (Very Important)
All courses that fulfill degree requirements (including all general education requirements and engineering
requirements) need to be taken as A-F grading at whichever campus you are taking it. All courses or
requirements that show up on your curriculum check sheet need to be taken for A-F letter grade. CR
(credit) or P (passing) grades will not count towards the degree and will prevent graduation.
The only exception to this is that the College of Engineering recognizes CR grades earned during the
Spring 2020 semester as fulfilling degree requirements due to mid-semester disruption of courses
because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
UHM catalog
The UHM catalog includes information about all degree programs, undergraduate general education
requirements, campus and academic policies, tuition, and course descriptions and prerequisites. The
catalog is updated each academic year. https://manoa.hawaii.edu/catalog/
Academic Integrity and Honesty
The University has a student code of conduct that must be adhered to by the student. The code of
conduct includes policies on cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty. Please see the
student code of conduct on the UHM website below.
http://studentaffairs.manoa.hawaii.edu/policies/conduct_code/
Reporting and investigation of academic dishonesty or other violations of the code is done through the
Office of Student Conduct. If found in violation, the resulting sanction(s) may include expulsion from the
University. http://www.studentaffairs.manoa.hawaii.edu/departments/student_conduct.php
Students in violation of the guidelines in any College of Engineering courses face immediate disciplinary
actions at the discretion of the instructor, but may result in reporting to the Department, College, and/or
the Office of Student Conduct. If found in violation, the resulting sanction(s) may include expulsion from
the University. Guidelines are listed at the following CoE webpage.

2023-2024 College of Engineering Undergraduate Handbook Return to Table of Contents
COE requirements for Good Standing
Undergraduate engineering students are subject to the policies of academic probation, suspension, and
dismissal of UH Mānoa as specified in the Catalog.
https://manoa.hawaii.edu/catalog/undergrad/
In addition to the UH Mānoa requirements, engineering students are required to maintain 2.0 or higher in
both the cumulative GPA and major GPA for Good Standing. If either the cumulative or major GPA falls
below a 2.0, the student will be placed on academic probation.
Academic Probation, Suspension Dismissal
Students are placed on academic probation if either or both of the cumulative and major GPAs fall below
a 2.0. While on probation, students may continue in courses but must then maintain a semester GPA of
2.0 or higher for each probationary semester to continue. Failure to meet any of the above conditions may
result in suspension or dismissal.
Suspended students may not take courses for one semester at UH Mānoa and must reapply for
admission through the UH Mānoa Admissions (fill out the transfer application) within specified deadlines
for the semester of return. Students who do not take courses after being suspended for the required one
semester are eligible to be readmitted to the College of Engineering. Suspended students who attend
another institution (including other UH system campuses) will be considered “transfer” students when
reapplying to UH Mānoa and must meet the transfer requirements of the College of Engineering.
Dismissed students will not be able to take any courses at UH Mānoa for one year and will need to
reapply to return. After being dismissed, the student is encouraged to take courses at the community
colleges to show a history of academic success before reapplying to UH Mānoa. Usually the student is
not reaccepted to engineering but may appeal for readmission to an engineering major through the
College of Engineering.
3. Academic Advising
Mandatory Advising Requirement
Advising is mandatory for all continuing engineering students each semester.
What happens during mandatory advising?
During advising season, students must fill out their advising form, discuss with their advisor, and get their
form approved by their advisor before the posted deadline.
Not completing mandatory advising by the deadline posted on the website below will result in a
registration HOLD on the student.
Steps to Complete Mandatory Advising

4. Engineering Curriculum
Engineering Curriculum Checksheets
The curriculum checksheet for each major can be found on the College of Engineering website below.
https://www.eng.hawaii.edu/students/current-students/curriculum
The curriculum checksheet includes all of the degree requirements and is sequenced in the
recommended course order. As you complete courses you can check off the appropriate boxes and
review what you still need to take. It also includes notes that describe courses that fulfill the major specific
engineering electives and accepted substitutions.
The checksheets are updated each academic year. You are responsible for the checksheet of the year
that you are accepted into your final engineering major. Pre-Engineering students should follow the
checksheet of the major they intend to declare.
Mathematics
● Math is very important towards making timely progress in any engineering degree.
● All engineering students will need to earn credits for the entire calculus series (Math 241-244 or
Math 251A-253A).
● Some engineering majors also require a 300 level math course like differential equations or linear
algebra (see major curriculum check sheet for all math requirements).
Chemistry
● All engineering students will need to earn credits for the equivalent of the general chemistry
series with one lab by taking either (Chem 161, 161L, and 162) or (Chem 171 and 171L).
● Some upper division mechanical engineering (ME) courses require a C or better in Chem 162 (or
Chem 171).

2023-2024 College of Engineering Undergraduate Handbook Return to Table of Contents
Physics
● Physics is very important towards making timely progress in any engineering degree.
● All engineering students will need to earn credits for the first two calculus-based physics courses,
Phys 170, 170L, 272, and 272L.
● Some engineering majors also require the Phys 274 course without the lab (see major curriculum
check sheet for all physics requirements).
● Students with AP Phys 1 credits for Phys 151 and 152 will still need to take Phys 170 and 272,
respectively. These students will need to contact the Physics department at p[email protected]
to ask for the override to register for Phys 170 because they are engineering majors who have
credit for Phys 151. (will need to do the same for Phys 272 - Phys 152).

5. Pre‐Engineering
Pre‐engineering major students are a part of the College of Engineering.
● Academic advising with an engineering advisor
● Notification of all engineering events/opportunities and scholarships
● Access to the 100 and 200 lvl engineering courses for which they meet prereqs (except CEE/ME
271 and ME 213 which are major restricted)
Pre‐engineering majors work on taking all of the lower division (freshmen/sophomore) coursework
towards their intended engineering major. Students will need to be declared before they can take the 300
level and above engineering courses.
Once a Pre-engineering student has successfully met the following or equivalents they should declare
their intended engineering major:
● Eng 100
● Math 241 and 242
● Chem 161/161L and Chem 162 (or Chem 171/171L)
● Phys 170/170L
● overall GPA of 3.0 at UHM
AFTER successful completion of the above requirements, students can declare by filling out a transfer
If a pre‐engineering student places into Math 241 and Chem 161/161L in their first semester it
typically takes a year to finish the requirements to declare and the student will be on track for the 4-year
graduation plan.
If a student places into a lower math course or needs to retake courses before moving on, it will
take longer to declare and graduate. There are opportunities to speed up time to graduation with certain
courses in the summer. Students should work with academic advisors to discuss their progress and
pathway to declaring and graduation.

7. Minors and Multiple Majors
Minors
Find out which programs offer a minor: https://manoa.hawaii.edu/catalog/degrees-minors-certificates/
The College of Engineering does not offer any engineering minors.
To learn more about declaring a particular minor and planning courses to complete it, students need to
meet with an advisor from the intended minor degree program. After doing so the student can officially
declare the minor by contacting the Office of the Registrar (uhmrec@hawaii.edu) to ask them to add the
minor to their STAR record.
Multiple Majors
Before applying for a second or multiple major(s), students need to consult with advisors in the
appropriate college/school to ensure that they meet the criteria for pursuing multiple majors and/or
degrees. Engineering students should first contact the Director of Academic Affairs in the CoE Student
Academic Services Office to discuss a multiple major.
To be eligible for consideration, you must already have a declared major and be in good academic
standing (2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average or above). Note that each college/school may have its own
eligibility and application requirements in addition to this.
● The College of Engineering requires a 3.0 cumulative gpa and history of good academic
performance in engineering related college courses.
● The College of Engineering does not allow certain majors to be combined with the engineering
major.Please discuss with the Director of Academic Affairs in the Student Academic Services
Office. https://www.eng.hawaii.edu/students/saso/
● Find the advising office of non-engineering majors through the following website.
