Youth High School Completion Program

• Step 1: Complete the online CEO Intent Form. The application will be processed within 5 business days.
• Step 2: Submit a Bellevue College application. Make sure the student is inputting their information. This is a state college account and must only contain the student’s information. The college application fee will be waived for students coming into the CEO Program. After Bellevue College processes your application, the CEO Program will connect with the student to follow-up with program-required paperwork and next steps.
• Step 3: Work through paperwork. The CEO Program will need students to submit their sealed, unopened Official U.S. High School Transcript/s to the Center for High School Programs Front Desk located in the U building on the 2nd floor. Inform the front desk that it is for the CEO Program. Do not submit high school transcripts directly to Bellevue College as they will not be directed to the CEO Program. It is important that transcripts are sent directly to the CEO Program. Your high school transcript will be evaluated to determine what college courses are needed to meet state graduation requirements. We do not have the ability to evaluate homeschool transcripts or non-U.S. transcripts.
• Step 4: Make an appointment to meet with a Youth High School Completion CEO Specialist at ceo@bellevuecollege.edu. Appointments must wait until we have initially reviewed your Official High School Transcript and fully processed your online application. Once these are completed we will be able to make the appointment.
• Step 5: Submit your remaining required CEO Program paperwork to ceo@bellevuecollege.edu. During your first appointment with a CEO Specialist, they will review the required paperwork and entrance steps for the Youth High School Completion Program for completion. Your high school transcript evaluation will be discussed with you. You will work with your CEO Specialist to decide which college classes you need to complete at Bellevue College to finish your high school diploma.

• Be at least 16 years of age, by September 1st of the current K-12 school year.
• Be able to provide official (sealed) transcripts from all accredited high schools you have attended. Our office can only evaluate U.S. public or private high school transcripts.
• Complete all of the entrance steps for the CEO Program, including online applications, paperwork, and entrance testing. Entrance testing will be discussed further into the entrance process.
• Have reading, writing, and verbal skills in English, necessary to complete coursework.
• Be prepared to take transitional courses before diving into regular college courses. Students will be required to take CEO classes as a strict program requirement.

All students must have a Bellevue College account. Please refer to the Bellevue College State Application Guide [PDF] to help navigate the college application.
