In recognition of the state\u2019s two official languages, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>‘s 10 campuses will begin issuing their graduates two diplomas—one in English and one in Hawaiian—during the 2017–18 academic year.<\/p>\n

Most UH<\/abbr> campuses will begin implementing the new two-diploma practice in 2018. All campuses will be issuing two diplomas as a standard practice by the 2018–19 academic year.<\/p>\n

“My thanks to Maui College<\/a> Chancellor Lui Hokoana<\/strong><\/a> for raising this opportunity with the Council of Chancellors,” said UH<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong><\/a>. “All of our campus leaders strongly supported this new practice, an important step forward in our work to be a model indigenous-serving university.”<\/p>\n

“The issuance of two UH<\/abbr> diplomas moves the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> closer to its goal of fostering and promoting the use of Hawaiian language at parity with English throughout the UH<\/abbr> system,” added Gail Mililani Makuak\u0101ne-Lundin<\/strong>, director of the UH<\/abbr> Office of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Papa O Ke Ao<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hawaiian language diplomas have been offered for an additional diploma fee. Under the new two-diploma practice, students will only be assessed the standard single-diploma fee by their respective campuses. Students who have already paid the additional fee for a Hawaiian language diploma this academic year may obtain a refund from their campus registrar\u2019s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
