Residency Requirement

Parent/Guardian and Student must be a Hawai'i resident to apply for admission. All students enrolling or re-enrolling at Hawaii Technology Academy, as well as, the parents or legal guardians of those students must reside within the state of Hawaii. Only the resident parent/legal guardian will be permitted to enroll/withdraw the student from HTA; enter into technology loan agreements; enter into the Third-Party Learning Coach agreement and serve as the main point of communication with the school. Proof of residence will be required during the enrollment process. Parent/legal guardians are expected to fulfill all obligations as listed in the School Guidebook. Students age 18 or above on the first day of the school year, or those who attain age 18 during the school year, are still required to have a parent or legal guardian listed on all enrollment documents. No student may act as his/her own Learning Coach.

Information Sessions

HTA uses an innovative and flexible blended learning model, providing students with a combination of face-to-face instruction, virtual instruction, and experiential/independent learning. Unique to this learning platform, HTA engages parents/guardians as Learning Coaches, empowering them through training on how to best support students with their independent learning. For this reason, parents/guardians of students new to HTA are highly encouraged to watch an informational video for the campus/program of interest prior to submitting an admission application. Parents/guardians of returning students are also highly encouraged to watch an informational video if they wish to switch programs. See the section titled “Program Selection” for more details.

Program Selection

Upon applying, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be required to select which program their child is applying for. Once a program is selected, there will not be an option to switch programs until the following school year. Each program follows the lottery process described in the section titled “Admissions & Lottery Process” but has its own computerized lottery and enrollment caps. If any parent/guardian enrolls in one program but wishes to switch to another, they will be required to cancel enrollment in the current program and enroll as new in the other, subject to a waitlist. In addition, parent(s)/guardian(s) of both new and returning students are highly encouraged to watch an informational video for the program they wish to apply for prior to submitting their application for admission and/or completing registration.

Admissions & Lottery Process

Our admissions and enrollment process is done completely online in HonuHub, our school information system.  It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that you watch an informational video for the campus/program of interest to learn more about HTA’s blended learning model and specific programs prior to submitting an application for admission. Once you've created a HonuHub account, you will be given access to HTA’s enrollment portal. From here, you will be able to submit an application for admission. The Lottery Application Period for school year 2023-2024 is February 6, 2023, through March 6, 2023.
​
To ensure that your child is included in HTA’s computerized lottery for school year 2023-2024 (if applicable), you must submit an application by the lottery deadline on March 6, 2023, at 4:00 pm. On March 7, 2023, a computerized lottery will be held if the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available. After the lottery, if it is determined that your child has been offered admission, you will be notified by email to sign and accept the offer of admission within two (2) business days. If the offer of admission is not accepted within two (2) business days after notification, the offer of admission will be forfeited and offered to the next applicant on the waitlist. If the family re-applies for admission, the child’s application will be date and time stamped and processed as a late application. Anyone not offered admission after the lottery will have their application time-stamped and automatically placed on the waitlist based on their lottery number. Applicants on the waitlist will be considered on a rolling basis as spaces become available until July 21, 2023.

Admittance & Finalizing Enrollment

Once the offer of admission is accepted and the applicant is “admitted,” all required enrollment forms and documents must be submitted, reviewed, and approved within ten (10) business days to secure enrollment for their child. When all required enrollment forms and documents have been submitted, they will be reviewed within five (5) business days, and you will be notified via email if corrections need to be made. Failure to correct errors AND receive approval of all enrollment forms and documents within ten (10) business days will result in the applicant forfeiting his/her seat to another applicant on the waitlist. Such forfeiture will be communicated to the family via email. If the family re-applies for admission, the child’s application will be date and time stamped and processed as a late application.

Late Application Period

Applications submitted on or after March 7, 2023 will be considered “late” and processed based on the date and time stamp of submission. Late applications will be placed in the order received at the end of the lottery waitlist without regard to any preferences described in the Admissions & Lottery policy. If a spot opens up in a specific grade level where a waitlist exists, the next eligible applicant will receive a notification. Parent(s)/Legal Guardian(s) who receive a notification of space availability will be given two (2) business days to sign and accept the offer of admission. If the offer of admission is not accepted within two (2) business days after notification, this will result in the applicant forfeiting his/her seat to another applicant on the waitlist. Such forfeiture will be communicated to the family via email.
sTudent fee info
After fully enrolling, you will be required to pay the $35 Student Fee (per student) in HonuHub via PayPal. The Student Fee helps cover the cost of basic classroom supplies, single-use academic supplies, curricular software and materials, and an HTA t-shirt, which will be distributed by the end of 2023. Families who complete HTA's Application for Reduced Fees may qualify to have this fee subsidized. The student fee is fully refundable should you choose to cancel your child’s enrollment at HTA next year before the first day of school.

If you cannot pay the student fee at this time, you will be given the option to pay later and still be able to complete the enrollment process. The deadline to pay the student fee is July 21, 2023.  
​
Please note:  The Student Fee must be paid before participating in the computer loan program. In addition, students will not be able to participate in extracurricular activities such as field trips, dances, retreats, grad night, prom, etc., until payment is received, nor will they be able to use an on-site loaner computer should the student forget his/her laptop.
Prior year applications do not roll over to the next school year. If you were on the wait list for 2022-2023, you must submit a new application for 2023-2024.  ​​
