General Information

For military service members eligible to participate in the Department of Defense (DoD) Tuition Assistance Program Bellevue College waives the building fee and services & activity fees not covered by that program for up to 18 credits.

Students who use Tuition Assistance (TA) are expected to remain enrolled in the course throughout the duration of the semester. If a student using TA withdraws from the course, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of the benefit that was originally authorized. To remain in compliance with the Department of Defense’s policy, Bellevue College will return any unearned TA funds through at least 60% of the quarter on a prorated basis. The amount of unearned TA that is returned is based on the date of withdrawal from the course.
