Apply afterAfter HSC · transfer route
A transfer programme: you start here (usually after HSC or A-levels) and, with good grades, move on to a university to finish a bachelor’s, with your credits counted. The receiving university sets the grades it needs.
Transfer requirements
To start: Secondary school transcripts (and any college transcripts), passport and proof of funds. Under-18s need a parent's power of attorney form.
To transfer: DTA associate: 90 quarter credits, GPA 2.0+, transfers to Washington public universities. Olympic offers Transfer Admission Guarantee letters from 20+ partner universities; each sets its own GPA and conditions.
English: No test needed to apply (free placement test); IELTS 6.5 (6.0 each band) for English 101
From Bangladesh: HSC accepted as secondary school completion; send school and any college transcripts. No Bangladesh-specific grade published. Foreign college credits need a course-by-course evaluation from one of Olympic's approved services (e.g. WES, ECE), an unofficial transcript and a request form; takes up to 8 weeks. Transfer Admission Guarantees from 20+ partner universities are offered to admitted international students; each needs the associate degree and its own minimum GPA.
