Special Project
The Special Project process is used when you have met with an Edmonds College faculty member who has determined that:
-
There is not an Edmonds College course that matches or is equivalent to the learning for which you seek credit but is within a program offered by the college;
-
Your learning is college-level and has agreed to be your sponsor throughout the project;
- The course you need is not offered but could be completed through independent study as a course substitution.
The Special Project self-support fee is $350 and is payable after the faculty member and division dean have approved the project. There are no refunds for any project that is not completed. Please note that most financial aid does not cover the Special Project fee. Running Start students may complete a Special Project, but the student is responsible for paying the associated fee.
Unless it is a course substitution, a successful Special Project will be transcripted as elective credits by either a decimal or "S" grade. Credits earned though a Special Project will count toward the Edmonds College residency requirement and will be calculated into your grade point average (GPA).
If you plan to transfer to another institution, be sure to check the transferability of these credits.
The Special Project Request form is located by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. You will go through a series of steps which begin with “Welcome to the Online Electronic Forms.” You will:
