Do I pay $50 for every class?
No. The $50 fee is per school year and covers all your eligible classes for that year.
Where do I find my SERS ID Number?
Your SERS number is displayed at the top of your Student Dashboard after you log in to your SERS account. It is also included in the confirmation email you receive after creating your account. Keep this number handy, as you may need it for transcript requests and support inquiries.
Can I pay using a check?
Yes. Make your check or money order payable to PNWCC. Write the student name and/or SERS ID on the memo line of the check. Mail your payment to:
PNW College Credit
MS N215
3000 Landerholm Circle SE
Bellevue, WA 98007
Why should I use a personal email for SERS?
You’ll keep access after graduation. Many school email accounts are disabled once you leave high school.
How do I know if my class qualifies?
Ask your high school teacher/counselor or view the eligible class list. Only articulated CTE Dual Credit classes with a grade of B or better qualify.
Will my credits transfer to any college?
Many Washington colleges (and some out-of-state schools) accept these credits, but transfer policies vary. Always check with your destination college’s registrar.
What if I miss the deadline?
We may allow prior year registrations if the articulation/match is still offered in subsequent years. You need to contact info@pnwcollegecredit.org and there is a late fee.
