The Student Re-engagement program is focused on supporting students who have left Bellevue College before completing a degree or certificate. Our dedicated Re-engagement Coordinator and Peer Educators work with students to identify the barriers that impacted their success, connect them to campus resources based on their specific needs, and support them as they re-join the Bellevue College community!
Steps for Students Who have Stopped Out
- You are considered a “stop-out” student if you left Bellevue College before completing a degree or certificate program and last took a class at Bellevue College more than four quarters ago.
- Please reference the Reengagement Checklist to guide your steps.
- If you would like personalized support as you prepare your return to Bellevue College schedule an appointment with our Reengagement Coordinator, Katherine Chen!
