Welcome to Kapiʻolani CC

If you are a first-time, transfer, or returning student starting at Kapiʻolani Community College in Summer and/or Fall 2025 you are at the right place. We have a new process this year in which all students must complete a New Student Orientation (NSO) before being able to register for classes.

If you have already received your acceptance email, a welcome email with more information about NSO and how to remove holds are being sent out once a week from kapstart@hawaii.edu. So, it could take up to a week before you get a welcome email after you are accepted.

​

If you completed your NSO, please give us about a week to send you more information about the Advising and Registration dates available.

If you have questions about getting started you can email us at kapstart@hawaii.edu or call us at (808) 734-9245.

Mahalo for your patience as we undergo some changes to improve our services.
