General Information: Admissions & Entry Services
www.highline.edu/stuserv/entry ~ (206) 878 3710, ext. 3181 Introduction New students are welcome to meet with an Admissions/Entry Services representative to learn more about being a college student and the college's programs. Application forms may be submitted to Admissions/Entry Services any time during the year. Some professional-technical programs with limited enrollments have special admissions procedures and/or academic prerequisites that must be completed prior to acceptance into the program. Students interested in these programs should contact Admissions/Entry Services for information about special procedures and requirements. International Students www.highline.edu/stuserv/international/admissions Residents (citizens) of any country outside the United States who wish to apply as international students (nonimmigrants and non-U.S. citizens) have special admissions requirements. For information, visit the International Student Programs office or Website. Transfer Students www.highline.edu/stuserv/transfer Transferring into Highline Highline honors academic credits earned at other regionally accredited institutions that are equivalent in academic level nature to work offered at Highline. Highline subscribes to statewide Policy on Inter-College Transfer and Articulation among Washington Public Colleges and Universities agreed to by regionally accredited colleges and universities of Washington the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and adopted by the Higher Education Coordinating Board in February 1986. The policy describes the rights and responsibilities of students and review and appeal process in transfer credit disputes. Washington state community and technical colleges (CTCs) offer reciprocity to transfer degree-seeking students who move from college to college within the CTC system. Students who have fulfilled entire areas of their transfer degree requirements at one college - for example, Quantitative Skills, Communications or Distribution Area requirements - will be considered to have met those same requirements if they transfer to another community or technical college in Washington state. Students must initiate the review process and must be prepared to provide necessary documentation. For complete information, contact the Graduation Evaluator's office in Building 6 or call (206) 878-3710, ext. 3323. Transferring from Highline Students who plan to transfer from Highline to a four-year college or university should work closely with their academic adviser or contact the Transfer Center. Students planning to transfer to another college or university must meet the admission requirements of that institution at the time of transfer. Transferability of classes taken at Highline is determined by the institution to which the student transfers. Most Highline classes designed to transfer do so without a problem. Certain institutions, however, may limit the number of credits earned in a Credit/No Credit system or may have limits on certain classes. Classes designed for professional-technical degrees and certificates are not usually transferable to four-year institutions. Students should work closely with advisers before attempting to transfer classes that are special components of an occupational program. Other types of restricted credits for transfer include course challenges, credit by examination, military experience, CLEP, DANTES and other nontraditional credit. An institution to which an official transcript is sent may recomputed the grade-point average of the student in accordance with its own requirements and policies. Transfer Credit Appeals Students who encounter transfer difficulties should first seek resolution through the receiving institution's transfer office. If not resolved at this level, students may appeal in writing to Highline's registrar. The registrar will attempt to resolve the problem. This page was last edited 10/08/2009 |
