How To Get Started

Because registration dates are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, completion of the admission process is encouraged as soon as possible. There is no charge for admission to Seattle Central Community College.

  1. Complete the Standard Procedure for Admission to the College
  2. Testing If you have not had college-level math and English, within the last three years, testing will be required. Testing is conducted in room BE1108. There is a $17.00 fee per testing session (each session can include more than one test). No appointment is necessary; however, you will need to allow plenty of time to complete the tests. Testing can take from 1 to 2.5 hours. Please bring photo ID, $12.00 testing fee, and your Student Identification Number, which will be assigned once the admission process is completed.
  3. Transcripts/Test Scores After completing the above test(s), students must take the results and any previous college transcripts to Workforce Information/Advising Office (BE1102), and to complete a Pro-Tech admissions form. Test scores and transcripts will be evaluated to determine academic readiness to enter the program.
  4. Bring completed Pro-Tech admissions form to the Business, Information Technologies and Creative Arts Division office in room BE5166.
  5. To Enter the Program Once all previous steps have been completed, bring documentation of academic readiness (received from the assistant director of Advising) to BE 3176. Documentation will be evaluated, and your name will be placed on the Approved List. Program entry is first-come, first-served after you bring documentation of academic readiness to room BE 3176.
  6. Financial Aid Inquiries regarding financial aid must be made to the Financial Aid Office, room BE 1101, (206) 934-3844.
  7. Please call (206) 934-3830 for more information.

Students may choose to graduate either under the program of study requirements stated in the college catalog at the time they first enter this program, or under the requirements listed in the catalog in effect at the time they apply for graduation-unless more than five years have elapsed since the student entered the program, and providing that the courses required for completion are still offered.
