Academic Requirements for F-1 Students

UHH Home > Student Affairs > International Student Services

You are required to enroll full-time during every fall and spring semester. Full-time is a minimum of 12 credit hours. After the first semester we recommend that you enroll in an additional class in case you need to drop one of your classes for some reason.

Summer school is optional except for students who are admitted to UH Hilo for the first time during the summer session. If the summer session is your first term, you must be enrolled full-time for 6 credit hours.

If for some reason your are thinking about dropping below full-time status, you MUST see the International Student Advisor prior to doing so or you will be out of status with immigration.

Please note that making satisfactory progress toward your degree is a condition of maintaining your F-1 status.
