ACADEMIC POLICY
TERMS and CONDITIONS
- A student must earn grades of “C” or better
to maintain eligibility in the Running Start Program.
- If the student’s quarterly grade point average falls
below a 2.00 (“C” average) the student will be on probation
for the duration of participation and his/her academic progress will
be continually monitored.
- If the student’s quarterly grade point average falls
below 2.00 for any two quarters he/she is no longer eligible
for the Running Start Program at Bellevue Community College.
- The student whose eligibility is suspended for poor academic
performance will be notified by mail within two weeks of the date
on which grades are posted on the computer. Knowledge of eligibility
is immediately available to the student through the BCC website as
soon as grades are posted. Grades are due from the instructors the
Monday following finals and grades are posted within 48 hours.
Please Note: The time
between the end of Winter Quarter and the beginning of Spring Quarter
is very short. It will be impossible to get written notification out
to students re their suspension before the Spring Quarter begins.
Students who know or suspect their Winter Quarter GPA will fall below
2.00 should plan to withdraw from their classes. Although the time
is short between Winter and Spring quarters this policy will be strictly
enforced.
The student who is already registered for the
following quarter and fails to withdraw upon grades posting will be
automatically changed to “undetermined” status versus
Running Start. If the student is 18 or older they may attend BCC as
a regular student and pay full tuition. If the proper paperwork is
not submitted and full tuition paid the student will be dropped from
his classes. Those who are not yet 18, and do not have a high
school diploma, are required to go back to the high school.
This policy pursuant WAC 392-169-075 Academic standards and discipline
– Jurisdiction of educational agencies.
