Nondiscrimination

The University of Hawai’i Community Colleges' Statement on Nondiscrimination

It is the policy of the university to provide equity of opportunity in higher education, both in the educational mission and as an employer. The university is committed to comply with all State and Federal statutes, rules, and regulations which prohibit discrimination. The university is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of race, sex, gender identity and expression, age, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, disability, genetic information, marital status, breastfeeding, income assignment for child support, arrest and court record (except as permissible under state law), sexual orientation, national guard absence, or status as a covered veteran.

This policy covers admission and access to and participation, treatment, and employment in the university’s programs and activities. Discriminatory harassment, including sexual harassment, is prohibited under this policy. The university shall promote a full realization of equal opportunity through a positive, continuing program of nondiscrimination and affirmative action (41 CFR Chapter 60) on each campus.

The University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges (UHCC) offer various Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs of study leading to Associate of Science (AS) and Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees, as well as postsecondary certificates. While all UHCC campuses apply an open access policy, program admission may be based on completion of applicable course/testing prerequisites and a few UHCC programs apply further additional admission criteria. The lack of English skills will not be a barrier to admission or participation in CTE programs.
