WAC 132I-160-035   Admission procedures.  Applicants can become newly admitted students in two ways: Formal and informal. Both methods require applicants to meet the policy listed in WAC 132I-160-025 and the requirements listed in WAC 132I-160-033. The formal method is used for applicants who wish to register for daytime credit courses and who want the earliest possible registration appointment. The informal method is used by applicants who wish to register for evening or Saturday credit courses. The informal method is also used by all applicants during late registration. Persons granted admission by either process are newly admitted students.

     (1) These are the formal application procedures:

     (a) Complete and return either a state of Washington uniform community college application form or a Highline Community College application form to the admission office. These forms are available at any community college and at most high schools. Contact the admission office at Highline Community College to request an application form. There is no admission fee.

     (b) Highline does not require transcripts from other colleges or high schools for admission to the college. Admission to some special programs requires transcripts. Students who wish to transfer credit from other accredited institutions to Highline should have official transcripts mailed to the registration office. Students wishing transcript evaluations must also complete a transcript evaluation request form which is available from the registration office. The registration office will notify students in writing of the evaluation. Transcript evaluation is a service and is not required for admission to the college.

     (c) Falsification of documents for admission may result in disciplinary, civil, or criminal proceedings.
