Online Course Evaluation Information

Student Evaluation Guide

Overview

Students at Bellevue College evaluate their instructors and courses. This feedback is used by the college to help instructors improve their courses. Evaluations are organized into different groups called “projects,” which may have varying open and close dates. Therefore, students might receive multiple email notices.

Management and Support

Student Course Evaluations are managed by Effectiveness, Research & Analytics. For any questions or support needs, students can email courseevals@bellevuecollege.edu.
