Students must apply for admissions and gain acceptance to the College to be eligible for registration. Applicants are notified of their admissions decision via email, and receive guidance on the following next steps:
Health Clearances
The State of Hawai‘i Department of Health Administrative Rules, Title 11 Chapter 157 and 164.2 requires all students to meet its health requirements prior to attendance at any post-secondary institution in the State of Hawaii. Certificate of TB (Tuberculosis) Examination, and Immunization documentation for Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), Varicella (chickenpox), effective Fall 2020, and Tdap (Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis), effective Fall 2020, are required. Health Clearances must be signed and stamped by a U.S. licensed Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathy (DO), Advanced Practiced Registered Nurse (APRN), Physician Assistant (PA) or clinic. Completed forms should be uploaded to Med+Proctor, the University of Hawaii's partner in processing immunization verifications. Please visit our Health Clearance site for additional information.
Placement Testing
Evidence is required to determine placement for math, English and other courses with a math or English pre-requisite. To determine placement, students may:
- Provide documents for placement evaluation (e.g. high school transcript, college transcript, SAT, ACT, Smarter Balance Assessment) to their Windward CC Counselor
- Take the Accuplacer or EdReady Placement test. Please visit The Testing Center for more information on these testing options
Placement options can be discussed at New Student Orientation or with a Counselor prior to registration. Transfer students who have completed college-level courses in math and English are not required to take placement tests. Proof of completed courses (e.g. copy of transcript or grade report) must be provided to the Counselor prior to registration.

Register for Classes

Tuition/Fees Payment
