Hawai'i

The University of Hawai’i (UH) began work on reverse transfer prior to formal participation in CWID through participation in initiatives such as Achieving the Dream, Complete College America, and other statewide college completion planning activities. UH developed its own cloud-based, integrated, online advising and degree attainment support system called the STAR Academic Pathway which has been enhanced to accommodate reverse transfer systemwide.
