   Getting in

   What it costs

   The college does not publish a tuition fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Seattle will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so check local estimates before you apply.

   Coming from abroad

   English language support is part of the college’s offering through ESL courses in Basic and Transitional Studies, but the language of instruction for each programme should still be confirmed before applying. If you are moving from abroad, check visa steps, tuition, housing, health coverage, and the exact intake dates with the International Education Programs division.
