STEP 1: Make sure that your academic record is up to date and includes any transferred credits.

For questions about credit transfers (including AP/IB courses and credit from previous colleges/universities), check out the Transfer Enrollment page or submit a Student Central Request.

STEP 2: Fill out the Educational Planning Worksheet with classes you’ve completed towards your degree/certificate. (*See sample plans below)

Are you unsure about which program to pursue?

• You can explore the degrees and certificates offered at Bellevue College
• Download copies of degree requirement worksheets to chart your progress
• Check out the Center for Career Connections for help.

STEP 3: Find out which classes you still need to complete.

• Run a Degree Audit Report:
• Review Degree or Certificate Requirements.
• Discover requirements for particular university majors.
• Determine the sequence of math and English courses you need to take.
  • If this is your first quarter at Bellevue College, your math and/or English assessment will determine where you begin on the flowchart.

STEP 4: Decide which classes to take.

• Check out this year’s course catalog and course descriptions for information about each class and its prerequisites.
  • If you’re planning on transferring to a university, talk with your school of interest about major requirements.

Step 5: Register for your classes!
