Terms of Use

BEFORE CREATING YOUR ACCOUNT OR USING MyBC, PLEASE READ ALL POLICIES, STANDARDS, CONDITIONS AND TERMS FOR USING THE MyBC WEB PORTAL AND ALL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU WITH YOUR BC NETWORK ACCOUNT.

 

Network Accounts

A Bellevue College (BC) student network account serves as the student’s permanent student account while enrolled in classes at the college unless the student notifies the college and formally requests it to be removed. To sign up for a student network account, the student must provide a valid BC student ID number (SID) and personal ID number (PIN). This information is provided to students when they have received notification from the college that they have been accepted for admissions, or after they have registered for a class the first time. Employee network accounts are issued when an employee begins employment with BC and are de-activated when they terminate employment with BC.

 

As a network user, you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that are undertaken using your network account. It is against college policy to share or communicate your password to others. If you forget your password, you may reset your password online at http://mybcc.net. Further, by creating an account, you acknowledge and accept responsibility to abide by all college established college policies and guidelines pertaining to network use:
