Students in Bellevue Community College ESL classes should make progress in their level.  If there is not progress, students may or may not continue in the program.  The teacher looks at your classroom work, tests and attendance 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 future classes.

 

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.
