Academic Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The nursing program functions within the framework of the mission and goals of Bellevue College. As part of the larger community, the nursing program builds upon the college\u2019s mission by preparing students for life-long learning by offering a high-quality, flexible, and accessible education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our clinical partner are requiring that clinical students be fully vaccinated, or even have a booster, against COVID-19 regardless of whether the student qualifies for a religious or medical exemption as an accommodation from the College. Therefore, if you are not vaccinated against COVID-19 (regardless of whether you qualify for a religious or medical exemption), Bellevue College likely will not be able to place you in a clinical site, which means you will not be able to complete the program you have started.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no current plans to change any Covid policy or procedures as of July 31, 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
