Policies & Procedures

Resident Credit Requirement

To meet the residency requirement, 30 credits or one-third of the required credits, whichever is less, must be earned at Edmonds Community College. However, a specific program may require that more credits must be earned in residence. Only college-level courses numbered 100 or above meet the resident credit requirement – except as approved by the appropriate dean. Credits earned through articulation agreements and advanced placements do not satisfy resident credit requirements.

If the residency requirements are met, then the final credits for degrees and certificates do not have to be earned at the college.

The minimum requirement for a high school diploma is that the final course must be completed at Edmonds Community College.
