Bellevue College
Students in
ESL classes at Bellevue College should make progress in their level. Most students advance to the next level of
ESL class after no more than 3 quarters at one level. If there is no progress,
students may not continue in the classes.
The teacher looks at your attendance, classroom work, and tests
(including CASAS tests) to decide your progress. The teacher will tell you at the end of the
quarter what you need to improve. If you
don’t improve, you might not be able to register for classes in the
future.
Confidentiality: We do not wish
other people (parents, spouses, and friends of students) to speak for students
about school performance because this can slow student growth and progress. We do this because we would like students to speak for themselves and
be independent. We also do it because
federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) says that we must
protect the privacy of student education records. It is BC policy to keep school performance
between the school and the student. If a student asks for a parent, spouse, or
friend to be at any instructor-student discussion of academic performance,
instructors will look at each situation and make the final decision. You can
see all of this policy, Arts and Humanities Commitment to Student Growth and
Development, at www.bellevuecollege.edu/artshum.
Some
people may have a special medical problem.
If you have information to tell me about a medical problem, please see
me after class or during our break.
Then, we can plan for an emergency. If you have a disability and need
special help in class, I can tell you about our Disability Resource Center
(DRC).
Learning Disability Medical Condition
You
may also contact DRC in its temporary location in the Library Media Center. You
can call 425.564.2498 or TTY 425.564.4110. Information is also on their website
