The workshop took place at Campus Center and was attended by more than 130 high school counselors from throughout the state. Founded on the principle that access to higher education should be available to all <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> residents, the M&#257;noa Promise program will go into effect in fall 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The M&#257;noa Promise will facilitate local high school seniors finding their unique pathways into the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> System,&rdquo; said <strong>Ryan Yamaguchi<\/strong>, <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa assistant director of admissions.<\/p>\n<p>The program begins when a <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> high school student applies for admission to <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa. &ldquo;In this streamlined process, if a student is not yet prepared to enter the university, we will work in concert with our colleagues at the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Community Colleges to define a pathway to <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa,&rdquo; said Yamaguchi.<\/p>\n<p>That pathway includes the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa will communicate to each student not yet prepared to enter the university about the opportunity to attend one of the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Community Colleges on <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span>, Maui, <span aria-label=\"Kauai\">Kaua&#699;i<\/span> and <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> island. Included with the letter will be a form, similar to the &ldquo;Change of Home Institution&rdquo; form, for the student to identify the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> community college where he or she wishes to enroll.<\/li>\n<li>The student will not be required to submit a separate 糖心Vlog官方 Community College application. <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa will input the student&#8217;s demographic and other admission-type information into the Banner Student Information System.<\/li>\n<li>Per the M&#257;noa Promise, students who have demonstrated academic potential at one of the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Community Colleges&#8212;upon completion of 24 transferable credits with a cumulative <abbr>GPA<\/abbr> of 2.0 or higher&#8212;will work with the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa Office of Admissions to request reactivation of their university application for admission. The customary $70 admission fee will be waived.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&ldquo;<abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa and its <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Community Colleges colleagues stand united in support of the state&#8217;s goal of increasing the college participation rate among residents,&rdquo; said Yamaguchi. &ldquo;We recognize that the economic vitality of the state is dependent on its people and commit to working in harmony to promote higher education.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Added <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa Vice Chancellor for Students <strong>Francisco Hernandez<\/strong>, &ldquo;The M&#257;noa Promise encourages students to study locally and fulfill their hopes and dreams. Through employing shared technology, we have the capacity to serve our students more efficiently and effectively.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This new process will streamline our services to help students transition with ease between institutions within the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> System. Most importantly, students will feel supported and empowered to continue their studies and obtain college degrees without leaving home.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<e,><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/article.php?aId=6732\">A <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa news release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The M&#257;noa Promise will assist local high school seniors find their unique pathway into <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[9],"class_list":["post-27539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-uh-manoa","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27539"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":150530,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27539\/revisions\/150530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
