Shoreline Community College welcomes transfers from Art Institute of Seattle

Fine arts at Shoreline Community College

Wednesday afternoon, the Art Institute of Seattle (AI Seattle) informed the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) that it will close abruptly — two weeks before the end of the winter quarter — on Friday March 8.

About 650 students are currently enrolled at the Art Institute, which has been educating students in Seattle since 1946.

“We strongly disagree with the decision to close before this quarter is over,” says WSAC Deputy Director Don Bennett, who said the decision was “deeply troubling and disappointing.” “It’s incredibly frustrating and distressing to students and it completely disrupts their education.”

WSAC will hold two previously planned information fairs on March 12 and 13 with about 30 colleges and universities participating. These schools will have information about transferring credits, graduation requirements, and teach-out options. Details HERE
