Transfer credit is based on the student's official IB Examination score. Student should request that their electronic IB transcript be sent to Hawai'i Pacific University at the following address: Hawai'i Pacific University, Office of Admissions, 1 Aloha Tower Drive, Honolulu, Hawai'i 96813, USA.
Students who have been awarded college credit for their IB examination results can decrease the time required to complete their bachelor degree. Additionally, Hawai'i Pacific University's year round curricular options allow interested students an opportunity to further accelerate the degree completion process.
Once a student has been accepted to HPU and an official electronic IB transcript has been received, an individual evaluation will be completed based on the student's intended study program. Students will then be notified of their official IB transfer credit award by correspondence from Hawai'i Pacific University.
