The University of Hawaiʻi System is adding the COVID-19 vaccination to its student health clearance requirements beginning in the fall 2021 semester. This means that, to be on any
UH campus, students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As with existing health clearance requirements, students will be able to request exemptions for medical and religious reasons. More detailed information will be made available in the coming months as implementation plans are finalized.
“It is clear that a vaccinated campus is a safer campus for everyone, and a fully vaccinated student community enables the best opportunity for a healthy return to high-quality face-to-face teaching, learning and research,” said

UH President
David Lassner convened a working group to, “develop a plan for the redesign of general education at
UH both substantively, the skills, competencies and knowledge that comprise general education, as well as structurally, how general education is organized and the curriculum is maintained.”
This is the first revision to the
UH System’s General Education requirements since 1999, which makes this redesign process a monumental milestone in the
UH System’s curriculum development. This is an opportunity for the university community to restructure
UH’s program into a cutting edge model that best prepares students for the modernized, transforming world of industry and higher education that exists for them beyond graduation.
