The Bellevue College Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 compiles every essential date from Bellevue College enrollment deadlines, tuition payment due dates, and course add/drop periods to campus breaks and final exam schedules.

Bellevue College operates on a quarter system with four main sessions:

  • Fall Quarter (late September to early December; 10 weeks of instruction + finals week), so if you’re asking how long a quarter is at Bellevue College, expect roughly 11 weeks in total.
  • Winter Quarter (early January to mid‑March; 10 instructional weeks + finals week)
  • Spring Quarter (late March to early June; 10 instructional weeks + finals week)
  • Summer Sessions (mid‑June to mid‑September), split into Session A (5 weeks), Session B (5 weeks), and a Full Summer Quarter (10 weeks), each with its own add/drop and billing deadlines for accelerated or makeup courses.

Whether you’re mapping out your 10‑week quarter load, choosing between Summer Session A, B, or Full Summer, or budgeting for quarter‑based Bellevue College tuition fees, the Bellevue College Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 is your go‑to guide for all the dates and deadlines you need to thrive at Bellevue.
