Policy Statement

Students in ESL classes at Bellevue Community College should make progress in their program level.  If there is no progress, students may not continue in the classes.  The teacher looks at your attendance, classroom work, tests (including CASAS tests) to decide your progress.  If you don’t improve you might not be able to register for classes in the future.  You can see Student Procedures and Expectations policies at  www.bcc.ctc.edu.artshum 

 

Students with disabilities must progress like other students. You should tell your teacher about your disability, special illness, or your need for special arrangements in class.  If you want to know Disability Support Services (DSS) call 566-2498 or go to the DSS office in room C220.

 

We do not want other people (parents, spouses, and friends) to speak for the students about school performance because this may slow student progress.  We would like students to speak for themselves and be independent.  Federal law (the Family Education 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 participate in any discussion of academic performance, instructors will look at each situation and make the final decision.  You can see all of this policy, Arts & Humanities Commitment to Student Growth and Development, at  www.bcc.ctc.edu.artshum
