Students in ESL classes at Bellevue Community College should make progress in their level.  If there is no progress, students may not continue in the classes.  The teacher looks at your attendance, classroom work, and tests (including CASAS tests) to decide your progress.  The teacher will tell you at the end of the quarter that you need to improve.  If you don’t improve, you might not be able to register for classes in the future.

You can review Student Procedures and Expectations policies at www.bcc.ctc.edu/artshum.

 

Students with disabilities must progress like other students.  You should tell the teacher about your disability, special illness, or your need for special arrangements in class. 

If you want to know about Disability Support Services (DSS), call 564-2498 or go to the DSS office in room B233G.

 

We do not wish other people (parents, spouses, and friends of students) to speak for students about school performance because this can slow student growth and progress. We do this because we would like students to speak for themselves and be independent.  We also do it because federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) says that we must protect the privacy of student education records.  It is BCC policy to keep school performance between the school and the student. If a student asks for a parent, spouse, or friend to be at any instructor-student discussion of academic performance, instructors will look at each situation and make the final decision. You can see all of this policy, Arts and Humanities Commitment to Student Growth and Development, at www.bcc.ctc.edu/artshum.
