ACADEMIC POLICY
TERMS and CONDITIONS
- A student must earn grades of “C” or better to maintain eligibility in the Running Start Program.
- If the student’s quarterly grade point average falls below a 2.00 (“C” average) the student will be on probation for the duration of participation and his/her academic progress will be continually monitored.
- If the student’s quarterly grade point average falls below 2.00 for any two quarters he/she is no longer eligible for the Running Start Program at Bellevue Community College.
- The student whose eligibility is suspended for poor academic performance will be notified by mail within two weeks of the date on which grades are posted on the computer. Knowledge of eligibility is immediately available to the student through the BCC website as soon as grades are posted. Grades are due from the instructors the Monday following finals and grades are posted within 48 hours.
Please Note: The time between the end of Winter Quarter and the beginning of Spring Quarter is very short. It will be impossible to get written notification out to students re their suspension before the Spring Quarter begins. Students who know or suspect their Winter Quarter GPA will fall below 2.00 should plan to withdraw from their classes. Although the time is short between Winter and Spring quarters this policy will be strictly enforced.
The student who is already registered for the following quarter and fails to withdraw upon grades posting will be automatically changed to “undetermined” status versus Running Start. If the student is 18 or older they may attend BCC as a regular student and pay full tuition. If the proper paperwork is not submitted and full tuition paid the student will be dropped from his classes. Those who are not yet 18, and do not have a high school diploma, are required to go back to the high school.
This policy pursuant WAC 392-169-075 Academic standards and discipline – Jurisdiction of educational agencies.
