Transfer Agreements & Other Transfer Options
Seattle Central has an array of agreements with four-year colleges and universities in Washington and beyond.
What is the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA)?
The Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) ensures that a student who completes the Associate of Arts degree (AA-DTA), Associate of Science (AS-DTA), Associate in Elementary Education (DTA/MRP), or Associate in Math Education (DTA/MRP) at SCCC will have satisfied the lower division general education (or core) requirements at the various baccalaureate institutions. The DTA does not guarantee admission to the university or to the specific program/major.
The University of Washington
Although the UW no longer grants automatic admission to students with their AA or AS degree, most of our students transfer there very successfully. With careful attention to requirements and deadlines, you, too, can transfer smoothly to the UW. You should work closely with the Seattle Central Advising & Transfer Centers, as well as meet with an advisor at the UW during their Transfer Thursday sessions, to make sure you meet the core requirements and any prerequisites necessary for your major.
