Enrollment and Registration for Credit Distance Courses

To Enroll, First Apply for Admission

You must be enrolled at Bellevue Community College to register for courses. If you are already enrolled at BCC, skip down this page to register for credit distance courses.

Whether you are a first-time college student, are returning to BCC after four or more quarter's absence, or are a high school student (age 16-20) seeking to earn college credit while still attending high school, start here to choose the appropriate registration path and apply for admission .

After submitting the application form, the college will notify you by e-mail with further instructions when your application is processed. It is extremely important that you provide a valid e-mail address on your application. The e-mail will include your new Student ID and PIN. You will need your SID and PIN to register for classes. Your PIN number is initially set as your birth date, using the MMDDYY format.

How To Register Online for Courses

Step 1 - Seek Advising
If you plan to take all or most of your courses through BCC's Distance Education Program, contact our advisors to identify your educational goals and plan for your success as a distance student. You may also want to discuss your educational plans with a faculty advisor in a specific subject area. For more information, also check out the Educational Planning Resource & Transfer Center.

Step 2 - Choose Courses
If you will be taking all or most of your courses through the Distance Education Program, use Distance-Ed's schedule of distance credit courses available in the forthcoming quarter.  Write down the names and item numbers of the courses you wish to take. If you wish to take a mix of on-campus and distance courses, use BCC's schedule of all credit courses, including on-campus and online . If the current quarter has started but the next quarter's list of available courses is not yet posted, check the academic calendar for the start of the next registration period. The Distance Ed program will post the list of distance credit courses for the coming quarter at least a month in advance of registration. Check back frequently. For long-range planning, see the projected schedule of course offerings for the rest of this academic year. 

Step 3 - Register for Courses
To enter the registration site, you will be asked for your student ID (SID) and PIN.  Have them handy. Select the quarter and press "REGISTER."  Enter the item number of the classes you wish to add or drop, using the 4-digit item number format (i.e., 4592, 8854, and 2301, etc.). You may pay for tuition, fees, and for your textbooks before you leave the course registration site, so have your credit card handy.

You may return to the registration login page to pay later for tuition, fees or textbooks.  Click through all the registration screens until you come to the appropriate payment screen. Payment of your tuition and fees is due 7 days from the first day you register for classes OR by the first day of the quarter, whichever comes first. If you register on or after the first day of the quarter, payment is due immediately. Check the Academic Calendar for exact dates and deadlines. You can pay online or in-person.
       If you have not paid by the designated deadline, the college will drop you from some or all of your classes. If you are dropped from classes for non-payment, the college will notify you in writing and via e-mail, but that may be too late to enter the courses you want after the first day of the quarter. Register and pay on time.
