Unofficial Evaluations

Tripler’s Academic Advisor can prepare an unofficial evaluation of your past credits once you select a degree-seeking program.  There is no cost and no requirement that you take classes with HPU before having an unofficial evaluation prepared.  To have an unofficial evaluation done, email a copy of all transcripts from colleges and universities previously attended, any CLEP / DANTES results, and copies of your military work experience (e.g., AARTS, SMART, etc.) to tripler@hpu.edu
(Please do not email any transcripts until you’ve obtained all your transcripts from the originating schools. Allow 2-3 business days for your unofficial evaluation.)

Official Evaluations

After you've been accepted to HPU and pay all applicable fees, you must ensure that all your official transcripts from all colleges and universities, military experience, and CLEP or DANTES results have been forwarded to HPU at the following address:

HPU Registrars’ Office
1164 Bishop St Ste 216
Honolulu, HI 96813

Step 3: Registration

To Register, you will need to set-up your HPU pipeline account: Pipeline Setup

Army, Army Reserves, or National Guards using Tuition Assistance to fund your tuition please see video/instructions from the Army TA Tab for registration procedures.

Veteran, DoD, and Family Members’ registration can be completed in person at any location.  Because there are a limited number of seats in each class, we advise that you register early.  Registering early also helps prevent course cancellations due to low enrollment.  After the completion of your first term, students are encouraged to use online registration.

We recommend that you continue to consult your Academic Advisor to ensure that you are enrolling in the appropriate courses.
