Course Equivalency
How to Transfer Courses to Highline
Your credits from WA State Public Colleges and Universities may transfer to Highline.
These guides are intended to help you predict how your credits might transfer. Actual transfer credits will be determined based on your individual transcript, limits on the number of credits allowed to transfer, and how courses fit with the degree or certificate you are working towards.
Highline will only accept transfer credits for classes with a grade of D/1.0 or better with a combined Highline/transfer GPA of 2.0 or better. More information on Transcript Evaluation.High School Transcript Credits

Foreign Bachelor Degrees Equivalency
When you apply for Financial Aid through the FAFSA, you will be asked if you already have a bachelor degree. It is important to answer this honestly because it could result in having to pay back aid received and loss of future aid, but the government leaves it up to each US college to determine if a degree from another country is equivalent to a US bachelor degree or not. This is difficult because education systems vary from country to country. Visit International Transcript Evaluation for more information.
