UHCC E-Learn Associate in Arts Degree - Working collaboratively, the University of Hawai`i Community Colleges provide courses leading to an Associate of Arts degree through cable TV, the Internet, and interactive television. You may also choose to earn your AA degree through a combination of distance delivered and on-campus courses. Distance delivered courses are also open to students not seeking a distance delivered Associate in Arts degree from a University of Hawai`i community college. This is an ideal way to complete requirements for an Associate in Science or Bachelor's degree, or to expand your schedule to fit your own on-campus Associate in Arts degree. You may also take a course for the pure joy of learning.  At this time, this distance delivered Associate in Arts degree and enrollment in any UHCC distance learning course is limited to individuals currently living in the State of Hawai`i.

Department of Public Safety -  In the Summer of 2002 the Hawaii Department of Safety inquired with LCC’s Distance Education program to find out what the possibilities were in being able to offer college level courses in the prison facilities. Working under the auspices of a federally funded grant geared towards Youthful Offenders (convicted felons under the age of 25), Stacy Thomas, Distance Education Coordinator continues to work collaboratively with Dept. of Safety officials to coordinate and facilitate the offering of Associate of Arts courses to four corrections facilities on the islands of Oahu (Halawa Medium, Waiawa Minimum, Womens Community Correctional) and Hawaii (Kulani Correctional). The Youthful Offenders Grant pays for tuition, books, supplies, and supplemental instruction for inmate students.
