Tuition Assistance

• Apply Online
• Your application may take 1 to 2 weeks to process. Once accepted, you will receive an email containing your Student ID Number (SID) and PIN.

Your NetID is your login information for email, computer labs, online classes, and much more! As soon as you receive your acceptance from BC with your SID and PIN, you will need to create this login.

• Create your NetID

The Veterans Services Office is your primary resource for VA education benefits, financial aid, and enrollment information. In order to make sure you’re receiving the benefits available to you, it’s important that you register with this office and provide the necessary documents.

Many courses require placement into English or Math, or require you to show completion of these courses at a prior school. Be sure to get this process done early, to avoid any delay in registering for the classes you need. This is also important before meeting with an academic advisor, so that they can create as accurate a plan as possible for your program.

• Request English or Math placement
• Clear prerequisites

Academic advisors are available for all degree programs and are here to help you schedule your classes, and provide a path towards completion of your program. While meeting with an advisor is not mandatory, it can be extremely helpful to ensure you are maximizing your time here at Bellevue College, and completing your program as quickly as possible.

• Meet an advisor
• University Transfer Center

If you are unable to meet with an academic advisor, you can also plan classes on your own! Check out the Plan Your Classes page on the Academic Advising website.

• Plan your classes

After determining what classes you need to take, it’s time to register for them. The class schedule is posted online each quarter and each class has a unique, 4-digit Item Number. Make note of the item number for each class you want to register for and submit those on your online registration form.

• Class registration

When registering for your classes, you should also see what is called a “tuition deferment” on your schedule. As a veteran, you are eligible for an extended payment deadline. This deferment will hold your classes through the first few days of the quarter, without requiring payment. If you do not see this deferment on your schedule, please notify our office right away.

While you’ve likely already begun researching tuition assistance or MyCAA, you may not be able to request authorization for payment until you’ve registered for your classes and can submit your enrollment to the appropriate party. Here are some helpful links to apply for that funding:

• Air Force
• Army
• Coast Guard
• Marine Corps
• Navy
• MyCAA

Once approved, please remember to submit a copy of your approval to the Veterans Services Office or Student Financial Services
