HAP Designation Process
The HAP Board reviews all requests that a course be designated as satisfying a HAP requirement at various campuses within the UH system. Requests are submitted directly from the Department Chair to the Chair of the HAP Board, Jean Okumura.
Carefully review the Hallmarks and the Explanatory Notes (download Word document) for the HAP designation when deciding whether to propose a course, as your proposal will need to demonstrate clearly how the course meets each Hallmark. It may help to review proposals for other courses that have been accepted in that category.

Also, departments should be aware that:
- If a course and instructor is accepted, the course with that specific instructor will carry the HAP designation and be required to meet the Hallmarks each time the course is taught.
- Once given a HAP designation, the course cannot have a Foundations designation.
- If the WCC HAP Board approves your course, it will articulate to UH-Manoa, and any UH Community College that participates in the multi-campus HAP Board as meeting their HAP requirement if that campus has such a requirement.
- If the Board determines that the proposal does not adequately address the Hallmarks, the proposal may be revised and resubmitted. If the course needs substantial revision, Curriculum Committee action will be required.
- If a new course is being developed, it may be submitted simultaneously to both the Curriculum Committee and the HAP Board, but the Board will wait for a Curriculum decision by Faculty Senate before acting.
- If approved, the course/instructor designation will last 5 years and require renewal during the final year. The HAP designation may be given only for a 3 year period if the HAP designation is given to a course/instructor for the first time.
