Bellevue College implements policy contained in this chapter in compliance with Public Law 93-380, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (“FERPA”). This law establishes that the education records of students attending or having attended the college are confidential and can be released only with written permission of the student. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act also authorizes the college to release so-called “directory information” without prior written permission.
The college has adopted procedures to implement the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Questions pertaining to the procedures and their implementation should be directed to the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Annual Notification of Rights
Bellevue College will provide students annual notification of their rights as defined by FERPA by publication in the student handbook and college catalog and by posting information in the student affairs building.
Primary Rights of Students
The primary rights of students under FERPA are:
- to inspect and review their education records;
- to request amendment of their education records; and
- to have some control over the disclosure of information from their education records.
Inspection of Education Records

The vice president of student affairs will make the needed arrangements for access within forty-five (45) days from the receipt of the student’s written request. If the requested records are not maintained by the office of the vice president, then the vice president shall forward the request to the appropriate college official. If the requested records contain information about more than one student, the student may inspect and review only the records or portions of records which relate to him or her.
Limitation on Right of Access

- records connected with an application to attend Bellevue College or a component unit of Bellevue College if that application was denied; and
- those records which are excluded from the FERPA definition of education records.

- the student has an unpaid financial obligation to the college.
- there is an unresolved disciplinary action against the student.
- the education record requested is an exam or set of standardized test questions.

Setting Classroom Behavioral Standards
For most up-to-date information, visit bellevuecollege.edu/policies/id-3450/
A common, campus-wide minimum standard regarding classroom behavior, student cheating, stealing, and plagiarizing provides enough autonomy for instructors and programs to set their own standards.
It is the instructor’s responsibility to clearly articulate to the students what is considered appropriate and inappropriate behavior in the classroom and what action will be taken in the case of inappropriate classroom behavior. It is recommended that this be done through the course syllabus.
Drug-Free Environment
Excerpt from Policy
For most up-to-date information visit bellevuecollege.edu/policies/id-4500/
Bellevue College intends to provide a drug-free, healthful, safe, and secure work and educational environment. Each employee is expected to report to work in an appropriate mental and physical condition to perform his/her assigned duties. Each student is expected to be in an appropriate mental and physical condition to participate fully in the learning process.
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance in or on Bellevue College owned or controlled property, or while conducting Bellevue College business, is prohibited. Violation of this policy will be reason for appropriate personnel action, or for mandatory evaluation/treatment for substance abuse. Any personnel actions and student violations will be processed in accordance with state regulations, bargaining unit agreements, student conduct code, or other appropriate policies of the college. Any disciplinary action for employees or students will be decided on a case-by-case basis depending upon the specific circumstances.
Employees must report any conviction under a criminal drug statute for violations occurring in or on property owned or controlled by Bellevue College or while conducting Bellevue College business. An employee shall report any such conviction to her/his supervisor within five (5) days after the conviction. Bellevue College must report the conviction to the appropriate federal grant/contracting agency within
ten (10) days after having received notice that a person employed under a federally-sponsored grant or contract has any drug statute conviction or violation occurring in the workplace.
Smoking on Campus
In accordance with the Washington Clean Indoor Air Act of 1985 (RCW 70.160) and in recognition of the Executive Order Establishing Governor’s Policy on Smoking in State Facilities, it shall be the policy of Bellevue College to limit smoking and tobacco use on campus as follows:
- Smoking, use of electronic cigarettes and tobacco use is permitted only in designated locations.

Children on Campus
For most up-to-date information visit bellevuecollege.edu/policies/id-6500/
As an institution of higher education, the college provides educational and support services primarily to adult learners. Under certain circumstances and under the auspices of special programs, students under the age of eighteen (18) also attend classes and/or participate in programs or activities on campus.
The college is a public facility of the state of Washington, available to its students as well as to the general public who may wish to use its facilities, learn about its services and programs, or attend functions on the campus. Citizens have the right to use the facilities of the college and to visit the campus during normal business hours of operation.
The college recognizes that children often appropriately accompany adults during visits to campus. Children, however, need at all times to be under the supervision of a responsible adult. It is inappropriate for a parent to ask members of the college community—administrators, faculty, staff, or students—to assume these responsibilities unless he or she is leaving the child in a college program sanctioned for children as defined in these procedures.
Children without supervision or with supervision imposed upon college employees or students may disrupt the educational process or work setting, and possibly create a safety hazard for the children themselves or for others on the college campus.
By this policy, the college seeks to create a safer environment on campus, which is conducive to and supports the effective conduct of the educational process.
For most up-to-date information visit bellevuecollege.edu/policies/id-7200/
The college expects that students who receive services for which a financial obligation is incurred will exercise responsibility in meeting these obligations. Appropriate college staff are empowered to act in accordance with regularly adopted procedures to carry out the intent of this policy, and, if necessary, to initiate legal action to ensure that collection matters are brought to a timely and satisfactory conclusion.
Admission to or registration with the college, conferring of degrees, and issuance of academic transcripts may be withheld for failure to meet financial obligations to the college.
