Early College - Degree Seeking Pathway

Class of 2026 & Beyond

UH Maui College mapped out the courses needed for their Associate's Degree for every year in high school. Some of the early college courses can be used to fulfill the high school graduation requirements.

​

*It is very important to understand that our students need to be able to complete both their high school graduation requirements and the college graduation requirements every year of high school.

​

Students will be required to take 20 college courses (60 college credits) in high school.

​

**Every student entering the program must take the EdReady placement exam in English and Math (only if taking a math class) their sophomore year in high school.

Communication Tool

Lahainaluna Early College Utilizes the Remind App

Lahainaluna Early College uses the Remind App to communicate with students and parents via text message.

​

The Remind App does not reveal cell phone numbers from both the sender and receiver of these messages. When you sign up for the Remind App you add your first and last name and that is the only information shared on caller ID.

​

Parents, students and advisors can dictate times they want to start and stop receiving text messages. Parents and students are also able to opt-out at any time.

​

A link to the Early College Remind App is located in the Early College Google Classroom. Please email Miss Kristy Arakawa if access is needed.
