The edlearn online consortium was formed for the member colleges to collectively offer their online distance learning degrees, certificates, and continuing education. The consortium consists of seven Seattle area community colleges and two Washington based universities, City University and Washington State University. The community college members are Bellevue, Edmonds, Everett, Shoreline, South Seattle, North Seattle and Seattle Central. Students can select online courses from the distance learning classes of multiple colleges through a single interface, which also enables registration, payment, and student services.
