Honolulu Community College has established the Emeritus College to respond to the special educational needs and requirements of senior citizens and of persons near retirement. The Emeritus College offers a continuing series of non-credit workshops and serves as a center of support and assistance for senior students wishing to enroll in any of the HCC’s programs, either credit or non-credit.

The Emeritus College is also the first SeniorNet site in Hawaii. SeniorNet is a non-profit organization established to create and support a national community of computer-using seniors. SeniorNet offers computer literacy workshops designed specifically for older adults and operates an on-line telecommunications network that allows local site participants to communicate with others throughout the United States and Canada and to gain access to information of interest.
