See the Chart below for Specific Transfer Agreements

Dual Credits

How do I get my dual credits posted to a college transcript

once I have decided where I am going to attend?

Most of the dual credit classes offered through Rogers High School have agreements through one or more of the three colleges listed - (Bates, Pierce, Clover Park) These three colleges will transcript your credit at no cost to you. You must use the directions in the next section to get your credits transcripted. Then if you plan on attending another college like Tacoma Community College for example, you can then send your Bates, Clover Park, or Pierce transcript to TCC to be used as transfer credits.

                                                                                                                 

 
To POST Dual Credits to ONE of the following colleges (depending on which one has the agreement

with the Puyallup School District for your class): Bates Technical College, Pierce College, and Clover Park Technical College:

EMAIL 1. your full name (first, middle, and last name), 2. high school name, 3. a copy of your high school transcript, and 4. The name of the college where you want the credit transcripted: Email to:

Georgia Elgar, dual-credit program specialist

Once your request is received by Pierce County Careers Connection, they will send your request for transcription to one of the following colleges and a college representative will contact you on the status of your request via e-mail (there is no charge for this service at the colleges)

If you are taking ASL, the process is as follows:

Seattle Central College:

The Student will fill out application in the appropriate High School ASL Class and return to the RHS ASL High School instructor. The High School Instructor will send information to the Seattle Central College registrar who will then post the credits to an official Seattle Central College transcript.
