Bellevue College offers a campus community shaped by the diversity of the students it serves. Students can take part in campus activities, clubs, and events, with options to explore through a virtual tour before arriving. The Welcome Center offers regular guided tours, and language interpretation or accommodations can be requested. The college is located at 3000 Landerholm Circle SE in Bellevue, Washington.
Academic planning is organized through eight BC Pathways: Business; Health Sciences; Humanities & Communication; Social Science, Public Service & Community Engagement; STEM; Technology and Data; Transitional Studies; and Visual & Performing Arts. Students begin with a broad field of interest, work with advisors to plan courses in sequence, and use course maps showing sample degree or certificate schedules. Programs include associate and bachelor’s degrees, professional certificates, and hands-on professional and technical study.
International students planning to study on an F-1 or J-1 visa apply through the international admissions route. After acceptance, new students activate a ctcLink account for registration, payments, and progress tracking, then create a NetID and BC email for Canvas, computer labs, forms, and other college systems. Placement is required for many classes, while orientation introduces advising and enrollment steps. Tutoring, counseling, career planning, financial aid, payment plans, and scholarships are available.
