Notes
ACC 124 and ACC 125 can be taken to meet the ACC 201 requirement. Please see an Academic Advisor for help in choosing ACC 124 and ACC 125 or ACC 201. UH Mānoa will only accept credit for the combination of ACC 201 and ACC 202 or ACC 124, ACC 125 and ACC 202. Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in all accounting (ACC) courses.
*The sequence of ACC 124, 125 and 202 is equivalent to the sequence of ACC 201 and 202 and vice versa. Therefore, credit will not be given for both sequences. A student who has completed ACC 124 or ACC 125 may not use ACC 201 as an elective for any AS or AAS degree. Similarly, a student who has completed ACC 201 may not use ACC 124 and ACC 125 as an elective for any AA degree.
