Admission versus Registration?

Admission is acceptance to the College which permits you to register for classes. Registration is selecting classes you want to attend.

To register for classes, you must first submit an application and be accepted to Leeward CC. When you’re accepted for admission, you’ll receive information on how to register for classes. Registration is done via the internet. Your registration is not complete until you have paid for all applicable tuition and fees.

Why must I provide my Social Security Number on the admissions application?

Each applicant is advised that disclosure of his/her Social Security Number (SSN) is required as a condition for making an application. SSN will be used to verify the identity of the applicant. For more information, see the Notice to Applicants for Admission section in the application instructions.

In efforts to protect your SSN, you will be assigned a student identification number. You will be informed of your student identification number in your acceptance letter. This number will be used in place of you SSN on class rosters and can be used as identification purposes within the University of Hawaii system.

Am I required to turn in TB and immunization clearances?

The State Department of Health requires all students to be cleared of TB (tuberculosis) and provide proof of immunity to MMR, Tdap, and Varicella. These documents are not required for admission to the College but must be submitted before you can register for courses.

Tuberculosis Clearance
In compliance with public health regulations, new students must show evidence that they are free of active tuberculosis before they are allowed to register for courses.

TB clearances done at the age of 16 or older will be accepted.

The following TB Clearances will be accepted.

• • State of Hawaii TB Risk Assessment Form F
  • Negative PPD skin test or Negative Chest X-ray done in the United States
  • Negative QuantiFERON blood test.

  TB clearances may be obtained from

  • • Private physicians or medical clinics

    • • 2 doses of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) are required if born after the year 1956
      • (Although positive titers for Measles and for Rubella are accepted, the Hawaii DOH does not accept the Mumps titers. Therefore, documentation of 2 MMRs is required.)1 dose of Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) on or after age 10
      • 2 doses of Chickenpox /Varicella (Varivax) are required if born in the U.S. after the year 1979

      If you have not completed and uploaded your vaccine series or received an exemption, you will only be able to register for online classes.

      What is a home campus/institution?

      When a student is accepted for admission to a campus within the University of Hawaii system, that campus becomes their home campus/institution.
