The University of Hawaii has launched one application for all 10 of its campuses, good news for students who had to juggle separate systems before.

• The new Apply Hawaii form replaces the multiple applications and accounts students needed depending on which campus they wanted.
• Anyone applying for the fall 2027 semester can now use the single common application.
• The system took two years to build and covers everything from trade programs to tech careers to PhDs.
• It is part of a wider push to cut the red tape that makes college harder to navigate.

Outlook: The first full application cycle under the new system runs toward fall 2027, and success will be measured by whether more students apply.
