Course Examinations
Faculty are responsible to implement appropriate approaches to assess achievement of student learning outcomes. Scheduled final exams in undergraduate courses shall be completed during the examination periods designated at manoa.hawaii.edu/undergrad/schedule/. Exceptions to the scheduling of final exams must be approved by both department chair and dean, noticed in the syllabus, and accommodate all student schedules. Take-home final exams may be distributed at any time but may not be required to be turned in before the scheduled final exam period for the course. No examinations (other than laboratory tests and short quizzes) are allowed during the two calendar weeks before the last day of instruction.
Language Courses
Students who plan to continue the study of a language begun elsewhere must take a placement test to determine the course in which they should enroll.
For specific regulations governing courses that native or bilingual speakers may take for credit, students should consult the department chairs of European languages, East Asian languages, Hawaiian language, or Indo-Pacific languages.
Advanced Placement Examination
The Advanced Placement examinations are administered in high schools by the Educational Testing Service for the College Entrance Examination Board for students who have completed specific college-level courses in high school. Students should consult the Office of Admissions for the most current UH Mānoa credit granting policy.
Credit by Examination
Classified students who wish to earn credit by examination for basic courses should check with the department offering the course. They must present evidence that they have a mastery of the content of the courses (but have not received college credit); must apply, with department approval, to the dean’s office by the specified deadline; and must pay the current fee. Applications are available in the college/school student academic services office. A comprehensive examination designed to serve as the scholastic equivalent of the course is given to the student. Courses passed by examination do not carry grades or grade points.
Recognition of International Baccalaureate
UH Mānoa recognizes the international baccalaureate for course credit. Students should submit higher-level examination scores to the Office of Admissions. Course credit is granted for acceptable scores. Contact the Office of Admissions for more information.
