High School Completion Plus

Seattle Colleges is an institution of higher education, not a high school. However, the college have some great opportunities for students who have not yet completed a high school education. Through this High School Completion Plus program, students can skip one or two years of high school and start their university studies right away. they can take full-time, dual credit classes at Seattle Colleges and earn college credits while completing requirements for a Washington state high school diploma at the same time. By choosing this option, they will earn both their high school diploma and associate transfer degree in two years.

Like University Transfer students, they may need to take English and math placement tests before starting classes, and they will complete the normal associate transfer degree requirements. Students will take college courses, not high school ones, which are generally transferable to a university and can count toward a bachelor's degree.

Upon fulfilling associate transfer degree requirements, Seattle Colleges will award students both an official Washington state high school diploma and an associate degree. Both high school and college graduation status will be noted on their student transcript, and the diploma may be used as proof of high school graduation anywhere in the United States.
