Olympic College Admissions Application Fee & Waiver
Admissions Application and Fee Waiver PRocess
Beginning fall 2026
Purpose
Olympic College is committed to equitable access to higher education while safeguarding the integrity and efficiency of its admissions process. In response to an increase in fraudulent admissions applications that delay services for legitimate students and disrupt classroom environments, the College will implement a $30 non-refundable admissions application fee beginning Fall 2026.
This policy establishes a clear and accessible waiver process to ensure the application fee does not pose an undue financial barrier for prospective students who genuinely intend to enroll. This policy applies to all those seeking admission to Olympic College for any academic term beginning Fall 2026.
Application Fee Waiver for Those Over 18
In-Person Residency Based Waivers
Applicants may receive a waiver if they:
- Are residents of Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson, Clallam or Pierce counties
- Present themselves in-person at an Olympic College Welcome Center (one is located at each campus).
- Provide valid government-issued photo ID
- Verify residency in one of the eligible counties either through a government-issued ID or a bill
Application Fee Waivers for High School Students
- District high schools receive waiver codes, so please see your district high school for a waiver code or reach out to our K-12 Partnership and Outreach office for assistance.
Use Limitations
- Waiver codes are single-use
- Misuse may result in revocation or additional verification
Admission Fee is Non-Refundable
Once the admissions fee is paid, it becomes non-refundable. If you want to have the application fee waiver applied, you must do so before you apply. We cannot later refund it a student proves residency later.
