What Happens After You Submit

Submitting this form does not immediately enroll you in the courses. Here is what happens next:

1. Your registration will initiate a stipend pre-approval for Phase 2 through the college’s administrative system. If you have already registered for another Phase 2 course, this step has already been completed and will be skipped.
2. This process can take up to 7 business days, though scheduling factors may extend that timeline.
3. Once pre-approval is complete, you will receive a notification confirming your enrollment in the Phase 2 courses along with your official start date and completion deadline.

Please do not attempt to begin coursework until you receive your enrollment confirmation.

About Your Stipend

Upon successful completion of all Phase 2 courses within your one-year window, you will receive a $800 stipend. Note: Stipend eligibility varies for some employee classifications. If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact oeta@bellevuecollege.edu before submitting this form.
