COVID-19 Update: Commencement 2020
Due to the guidance from Washington State Governor Jay Inslee and Public Health regarding large gatherings and events, Bellevue College will not be hosting a Commencement Ceremony on campus this spring. Instead, there will be a Virtual Commencement Ceremony on June 19th, 2020 with a possibility of an in-person reception during Fall Quarter 2020. We will continue to keep you updated with the latest developments, in the meantime please be sure to fill out a Graduation Application if you have not done so already, and contact us if you have any additional questions.
