Enroll in Courses
Olympic College accepts test scores for some English language proficiency tests in order to determine placement into English 101 and other college-level courses. If the international students have not taken any of the accepted English language proficiency tests, they may take an Accuplacer test to determine English language proficiency. Students who do not achieve the required placement level must take Intensive English (IE) courses at Olympic College before they are allowed to take English 101 and college-level courses.

Student Housing
International students need to secure their housing before they arrive on campus. They have two living options while attending Olympic College: Residence Hall and Homestay. It is important for applicants to fill out Online Housing Application Form and select the preferred housing option as soon as possible. Students under 18 years old need to sign the Minor Release Form. There is a $325 housing application fee the students needs to pay, but they may wait until after they receive their F-1 student visa and before they arrive in the USA. This fee includes the Airport Pickup Fee.

Next Steps
When your application is approved, you will be issues an I-20 Form. You will provide the I-20 Form to make an appointment with the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office in your country to be issued an F-1 Visa (for academic courses) or an M-1 Visa (for vocational courses). Agencies and students may contact OC to request interview assistance.
After they receive their Student Visa, and before they buy their airplane tickets, international students need to view the 2025-2026 Calendar. This will tell them when they need to arrive at the SeaTac International Airport (SEA) for pickup, the housing move-in date, and when OC has its International Orientation on the OC Campus. They need to fill out a New Student Arrival Form to let Olympic College know if and when they need to be picked up at the airport.
