International Transfer Process

International students wishing to transfer to Cascadia are responsible for informing their current school of their plans and the International Student Advisor from that school must complete a Transfer In form for the student. Once Cascadia receives the Transfer In form, and the student has been admitted to Cascadia, the transfer process may proceed.

Study Abroad Program

Studying abroad while you are in college allows you to earn college credit while living in and experiencing another country and culture. All Cascadia students can study abroad, including Running Start students, international students, and veterans.

Cascadia College is able to offer study abroad opportunities as a part of the Washington State Community College Consortium for Study Abroad, or WCCCSA. Through WCCCSA, we partner with other community colleges in Washington to send students together to study in other countries. For all WCCCSA programs, we work with 3rd party providers in-country who specialize in running study abroad programs. We offer both quarter-long and short-term programs abroad.
