To apply for admission to Seattle Colleges, international students must submit an online application, which includes completing a questionnaire, uploading all necessary documents, and paying the required $50 application fee by debit/credit card. Admission applications can be submitted up to five quarters/15 months in advance.

Application Portal
To start an online admission application, you must first create an account. By creating an account, you can save your entries, log in and log out at any time, and complete your online application at your own pace.
If you are a student applying for admission without the help of an education agency and you would like to start a new online admission application, create a student account. If you already have a student account and would like to continue or access an online admission application you already started, log in. As an official partner of Seattle Colleges, you may submit an admission application on a student's behalf. If you would like to start a new online application and this is your first time using this portal, create an agent/advisor account. If you are not an approved agent/advisor, find out how to become a partner. If you are unsure of your partner status, contact IntlPartners@seattlecolleges.edu. If you already have an agent/advisor account and would like to continue or access an online admission application you already started, log in.STUDENTS applying on their own
