Credits earned at colleges or universities that are recognized by a regional accreditation association or Ministry of Education are accepted for evaluation. No more than 5 credits of “D” level work will be accepted. Official transcripts are reviewed and credits transferred after you have completed one quarter and are registered for your second quarter at Cascadia.

A Transcript Evaluation Request form [PDF] must be turned in to the front counter in Kodiak Corner along with previous college and university official transcripts. Official transcripts can be submitted electronically directly from your previous institution or mailed to:

• Cascadia Community College
• Enrollment Services
• 18345 Campus Way NE
• Bothell, WA 98011
   

If you have earned a four-year degree, you are not required to submit official transcripts unless credits will be used towards a degree or certificate at Cascadia. Unofficial transcripts may be required to provide evidence of placement level before registering for English or math courses or for courses with a prerequisite of English or math.

Reciprocity Agreement

Washington community and technical colleges (CTC) offer a reciprocity agreement to students transferring within the CTC system who are pursuing one of the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) degrees. Individual courses that met distribution requirements or fulfilled entire areas of degree requirements at one college will be considered to have met those same requirements if you plan to complete the same degree after transferring to another community or technical college in Washington. You must initiate the review process and be prepared to provide necessary documentation. For complete information and forms, please contact the Assistant Director for Enrollment Services at (425) 352-8125.
