Transfer Students

Transfer students are those who have attended another college or already earned a degree. Credits obtained at another college may transfer to Bates.

Bates will evaluate each student’s records to determine transferability. Students should request an official transcript be sent to Bates Technical College. Students will also still need to apply to the college for admission. 

  • Send a copy of your official transcripts to Bates Technical College, Attn: Transcript and Credential Evaluator, 1101 S. Yakima Ave., Tacoma, WA 98405. Or order online official transcripts through Parchment which accepts electronic or printed transcript orders. New users need to create an account prior to making a request.
  • Submit a Request for Credit Evaluation Form.
  • Allow up to four weeks for the evaluation process after all transcripts listed on the form have been received.
International Credit Transfer:
Students transferring credits from colleges or universities outside the United States, or whose transcripts are not in English, must also submit a course-by-course Foreign Transcript Evaluation for all foreign coursework.
Evaluations must be submitted by one of Bates Tech’s approved evaluation agencies. Please request that the agency send the official evaluation report directly to:
Bates Technical College
Attn: Transcript and Credential Evaluator
1101 S. Yakima Ave.
Tacoma, WA 98405
USA
