Seattle Colleges, a district comprising North Seattle, Seattle Central, and South Seattle Colleges, maintains an open admissions policy. This means nearly all applicants meeting basic requirements are accepted, resulting in a near-100% acceptance rate.
The policy aligns with the district’s mission to provide accessible education, including vocational programs, associate degrees, and transfer opportunities. Admission typically requires a high school diploma or GED, though some programs may have additional criteria. The inclusive approach supports diverse student populations, including working adults and international students.
