Your first step is to get started at Edmonds College. Apply to Edmonds College and meet with an Advisor to discuss your program of study to make sure you are set up for the transfer degree that would work for you.

Academic and Faculty Advisors can support you in many ways. Check in with your advisor at any time to check on your degree progress, discuss areas of study, and receive an academic plan that maps out your program requirements and provide you with an estimated graduation date.

Did you know that you can apply to transfer to a university before you graduate from Edmonds College? Talk with an advisor and four-year college representatives to learn about when you should be applying to other schools. 

Work with your advisor to make sure you complete all the necessary steps to graduate from Edmonds College. The most important step is to apply for graduation. 

It's time to transfer! Congratulations for completing your time at Edmonds College and good luck in the future!
