We will send you the Term Activation form once you are able to update the quarter to Summer.
After you’ve completed Steps 1 & 2 above, you are ready to complete your required Neurodiversity Navigators New Student Orientation (NSO), followed by a New Student Enrollment (NSE) meeting with us.
You must take the NSO and NSE specifically designed for Neurodiversity Navigators students.
During our online asynchronous specially designed NSO and NSE, you will learn how to clear prerequisites and place into English and Math classes via a Neurodivergent-friendly process. You will also receive enrollment information and of course, fulfill your NSO requirement!
Please note: our NSO/NSE is separate from other NSO/NSE. Please use the NSO link below to join the Neurodiversity Navigators NSO.
On the last page of NSO, you will receive a link to enroll in our specially designed NSE. These meetings are held on-campus or online on Mondays and Thursdays at 4:15 PM. You are welcome to attend with a parent or other support person.
Use the button below to start your Online New Student Orientation modules.
NOTE: NSO and NSE are past the deadline for new students. Current BC students should email us at asn@bellevuecollege.edu to discuss options.
Completing NSO and NSE with us fulfills Bellevue College’s requirement for NSO/NSE and you will be able to enroll in classes within 72 hours of completing this process once course enrollment is open for Summer & Fall quarters.
IMPORTANT: NSO and all NSE meetings must be completed by June 18
Upon completion of the Neurodiversity Navigators NSO and NSE, you will be able to schedule an application meeting with us. You will receive information on scheduling this meeting at your Neurodiversity Navigators NSE meeting.
- Current Students: if you have already completed NSO/NSE when you enrolled previously, send an email to asn@bellevuecollege.edu with your ctcLink ID and let us know you’re ready to meet with us!
At the application meeting, you will be able to ask questions, discuss your interest in the NdN program, and together we will decide if Neurodiversity Navigators is a good fit for you!
We will discuss the educational plan that you prepared during NSO/NSE as well as the strengths that you bring to college along with any barriers you think you might encounter.
Start early! Priority Meetings end April 30
All meetings end June 26
Successful participation in the Neurodiversity Navigators program is directly correlated to your desire to be part of the program, learn about your strengths, and work with other neurodivergent students. You are welcome to “try out” the program if you are unsure.
Parents and others should work collaboratively with their student to make a decision and should not pressure, push, or entice students to participate.
