At Hawaii, Honolulu, Kapiolani, Kauai, Leeward and Windward Community Colleges and UH-Maui College, the reduced rate of $248 replaces the posted rate of $317.
Hawaii resident undergraduates attending the University of Hawaii campuses in Hilo, West Oahu and the seven UH community colleges will benefit from a reduction in summer tuition rates that will lower the summer 2012 rate and freeze it at the summer 2011 rate.
The reduction was approved by the UH Board of Regents at its monthly meeting held Thursday at Kauai Community College.
The reduction sets the 2012 summer session tuition rate for the campuses at $248 per credit hour, which was the summer session tuition rate in 2009 for the Hilo and West Oahu campuses.
The university instituted a similar reduction for the 2011 summer session that received positive feedback from the participating campuses and students.
The reduced rate of $248 replaces the $350 rates listed in the current tuition schedule (2006-07 to 2011-12) for Hawaii resident undergraduates attending UH-Hilo and UH-West Oahu.
At Hawaii, Honolulu, Kapiolani, Kauai, Leeward and Windward Community Colleges and UH-Maui College, the reduced rate of $248 replaces the posted rate of $317.
