The college abides by and honors all state and federal laws pertaining to the privacy and confidentiality of a student’s directory information and their academic records. Students may choose to restrict access to specific information.
FERPA allows colleges to disclose directory information without consent. Students that do not want this information released, must update their response to “May BMCC release your directory information” question within the Student Information area of the Student WolfWeb or complete, sign, and return a Directory Exemption Request form along with a picture ID to any BMCC location.
Placing a directory exemption on a student record restricts our ability to assist students over the phone. Students with a directory exemption on file will:
Be required to show valid picture id prior to receiving student record assistance.
Prohibits our ability to assist a student over the phone with other than general information
Prevent their name from appearing on honor roll listings or in the commencement program
Prevent us the National Student Clearinghouse from verifying student attendance or degrees
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) grants the student certain rights, privileges, and protections relative to individually identifiable student educational records that are maintained by BMCC. In general students are afforded the following rights:
A student’s educational records (with the exception of directory information) will not be released to third parties without the written consent of the student.
The following information is considered “directory information” and may be released without written permission from a student: Students name(s); address; telephone number; field of study; class level; dates of attendance, degrees, honors, and awards; athletic participation (including the height and weight of team members); and most recent previous educational institution attended.
Release of Records: In accord with Federal Law (The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended) “FERPA”, students may see and review all ofﬁcial records, ﬁles, and data pertaining to themselves with these exceptions: conﬁdential ﬁnancial information reported by the parent/guardian unless the parent/guardian has explicitly granted permission for the student’s review; and medical, psychiatric, or similar records used for treatment purposes. Access to a student’s own records will be provided as early as possible, but not longer than 45 days from the time of the student’s ofﬁcial written request.
A student may challenge the content of a record that she or he considers inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights. If such a challenge is not resolved with the custodian of the records, the student has the right to an appeal. Further information is available in the Enrollment Services/Registrar’s Office.
For more information or to exercise your rights contact the Director of Enrollment Services/Registrar at (541) 278-5757.
The Solomon Amendment requires by law that the college release: student name, address, telephone number, date of birth, educational level, academic major and degrees awarded upon request from recruiters of the branches of the U.S. military. If you request that this information not be released, BMCC will not release to military recruiters or other parties except as noted in this publication or upon written permission from you.
Students have the option of receiving a BMCC Student ID card. In order to request an ID card the student must show a valid picture ID and be currently enrolled at the College.

Registration & Class Preparation
All BMCC students taking credit courses must provide writing and math palcem information to BMCC before they can register for classes. Students may meet the placement requirements in one of the following ways:
Take the placement test: BMCC uses the College Board’s ACCUPLACER. This test is a computer-based format with unlimited time and provides immediate scores. The placement test assesses academic skills and helps place the student into the right level of courses. Placement scores are valid for two years
Complete a college level math and writing course with a grade of “C” or better at another regionally accredited college and submit transcripts to student records prior to registration.
Provide placement scores from another college within the last two years. Scores must be sent to BMCC from the college or university where the asssessment was taken.
Completed Smarter Balanced Assessment within the last two years and scored a 3 or 4 in writing and/or math.
High School Transcripts: Students that have completed a high school math course within the last 18 months, should have your high school transcript sent to BMCC’s Student Records/REgistrar’s office for review. Your transcript may be used in conjunction with your math placement score to determine your math placement at BMCC.
Students auditing a course will not be required to take the placement test.
Degree-seeking students must be cleared to register by their academic advisor in order to register. Students needing assistance with the online registration system may visit any BMCC location or work with their assigned Success Coach.
Students are required to register online unless otherwise directed. Students will not be permitted to register if a debt is owed to the College. Students must be registered in order to attend or participate in a class/course. In some instances, the instructor may allow the student to participate if their request to register is in a pending status.
BMCC does not encourage late registration, however, in circumstances beyond the students control, they may submit a Late Course/Schedule Change request and must include documentation to support their request. Students may register online through midnight of the fifth day of each term. The only exception to this policy is for late start courses or courses that start after the first week of the term. For more information on registration dates and timelines, see the Academic Calendar found in this catalog or visit our Website.
For registration assistance due to a disability, please contact the Coordinator of the Health and Wellness Center at 541-278-5965.
Priority Registration: BMCC uses a priority registration schedule that is based on the number of credits earned at BMCC. Transfer credits are not counted toward “earned credits” for priority registration purposes. Students may view the priority registration schedule posted on our website.
In compliance with HB2565 Veterans have priority registration priviledges. Specific dates can be found on the website.
In general, students may add or drop courses online up through the end of the fifth day of the term (11.59 p.m.). Please see the Academic Calendar for specific term deadline dates to add and or drop a course. Dates for courses less than a full term in length vary. Please check with the Service Center for specific deadline dates for these courses.

Students Under the Age of 16: Students under 16 years of age that no longer attend high school, are home-schooled, or who have not graduated from high school or completed a GED, and wish to register for courses may do so by providing the following:
High School Students (Early College Credit): Students who are still attending high school or who are home-schooled, and wish to take credit courses at BMCC, have these options:
Students at a public high school that have an articulation agreement with BMCC may meet the educational requirements of both the high school and a college-level BMCC course if they are enrolled for Early College credit in a class taught at the high school. This challenging course work offers students the opportunity to begin building a college transcript while still enrolled in high school. Early College courses and credits appear on a BMCC transcript as though they were taken at BMCC. Early College courses normally transfer to four-year institutions in the same way as any other BMCC course work. Not all courses are available at every high school. High school students may check with their high school counselors and teachers for course availability, costs, and other requirements. Students should also check with the college to which they wish to transfer if they want to ensure that Early College course work will transfer.

Installment Plan: BMCC’s installment payment plan is designed to assist students in paying their tuition and fees by setting a reasonable timetable and structure for payment. Students may sign up for this installment plan at any BMCC location or through the BMCC Website. An agreement is not binding for the college until a representative of the Business Office has signed the completed form. Upon signature, BMCC will return a copy of the official signed installment plan to the student.
Students who sign up for an installment plan have the ability to register for subsequent term(s) while still making payments on their current term balance. In addition, those on installment plans avoid any late fees if paid according to the agreed upon payment plan. These installment plans allow a student to spread the tuition over three payments with $100 due when signing up (along with $20 processing fee), half of the remaining balance due Friday of week four (or equivalent for terms of varying length), and the other half due Friday of week Seven (or equivalent for terms of varying length.) Late fee penalties of $15 will be charged for each late payment.
Installment Plans are due Friday of the first week of the term.

Applying for Federal and State Aid: Starting October 1st each year, students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to receive aid. Students may choose any of the three methods: 1) applying online at www.fafsa.gov, 2) completing and mailing a PDF FAFSA, or 3) requesting a paper FAFSA at 1-800-433-3243. The Federal School Code (003186) must be included so that BMCC can receive the FAFSA information. Applying online can reduce the amount of time for processing financial aid by approximately eight weeks. Refer to the Dates & Deadlines link at www.bluecc.edu/enrollment-services/registration/academic-calendars/financial-aid-dates-and-deadlines
Cost Of Attendance Budget: The BMCC Financial Aid Office establishes yearly standard student budgets as a basis for awarding financial aid funds. The following budgets are based on full-time enrollment for fall, winter, and spring term. The budget is prorated for less than full-time attendance. Review the Cost of Attendance Budget at http://www.bluecc.edu/enrollment-services/registration/college-costs.
Maximum time frame (150% Rule), students are allowed 150% of the credits required to complete the declared degree/certificate. All attempted and accepted transferred credits count towards this limit even if financial aid was not received.
Students must meet all three progress requirements (Pace, cGPA, and be within the maximum time frame) to remain in good standing. Students not meeting the requirements will be placed on financial aid warning or probation status during their next term of enrollment and will receive, in writing from the Financial Aid and/or Registrar’s office, a notice of such standing. For additional information regarding this policy and for more detailed information about financial aid, please visit BMCC’s website or contact the Financial Aid office.
Second Degree: If a student has received an associate, bachelor, or master’s degree and wishes to receive financial aid from BMCC, a Credit Extension Appeal (CEA) must be submitted to the Financial Aid office along with appropriate documentation. This process does not guarantee an award. Depending upon the type of degree already held, the aid, if granted, may be limited to loans.
Total (official or unofficial) Withdrawal and Return of Federal Aid: Federal regulations require the college to have a fair and equitable refund policy for students receiving financial assistance who withdraw from all classes. When a federal aid recipient totally, drops, withdraws, or ceases to attend classes, BMCC must determine the amount of federal aid and/or state aid that the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date in accordance with federal regulations. If the student does not complete more than 60% of the term, then a calculation is completed by the Financial Aid office to determine the percentage of assistance the student has earned. Any unearned aid must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education or state entity. The student may be required to repay BMCC any amount that is returned on the student’s behalf.
The Blue Mountain Community College Foundation offers scholarships to both full- and part-time students. Scholarship information and scholarship applications are posted on the college website. Most full-time scholarships are awarded during spring term for the next academic year. Scholarships for part-time students may be available each term. Stipulations concerning financial need, credit hours, grade point average, and area of study may apply.
The BMCC Foundation posts information on its scholarships as well as information that it receives from local civic groups; fraternal organizations; and state, regional, and national agencies. For further information visit our scholarships web page or contact 541-278-5762.
Certification Periods: The veterans school certifying official (SCO) will certify based on BMCC’s official academic calendar. Some courses vary in length. The SCO will certify enrollment according to each course’s beginning and ending dates, which may affect the rate of pay.

See the BMCC Veterans Education Benefits Request Packet for more information and details.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (AP) The financial aid office is responsible for ensuring that all students who receive VA benefits maintain Good Academic Standing per BMCC’s Academic Progress Policy. The students’ Academic Progress will be reviewed before making awards each academic year and at the end of each term. The standards of academic progress can be found at www.bluecc.edu/enrollment-services/forms-and-information/academic-progress

In compliance with federal Title IV aid policies students will be dropped at the end of week one from their course if they do not meet at least one of the following criteria:
attended the course at least one time on or prior to Friday of the first week of the term (courses that stat on a Saturday require attendance on that day)
participated in the course on or prior to Friday of the first week of the term (courses that stat on a Saturday require participation on that day). Student should refer to the course syllabus for more information
contacted their instructor regarding their absence for circumstances beyond their control (example: illness, death in family, etc,)
Students found not to have met at least one of the above will be administratively dropped from their course.
Students that are not able to continue to participated/attend after the first week of the term should meet with their advisor prior to withdrawing from their course.
Note: Some courses that are not a full term in length will have different refund/withdraw periods. Please print your schedule to determine what the refund/withdraw period is for that course.
Students that register online and wish to audit a course must complete a Request to Audit Course form. This status cannot be changed after the refund period. Courses taken as an audit status do not count as credits attempted in financial aid award calculations, and the AU (audit) status does not count in calculating GPAs. The audit indicator AU indicates a registration status, not an evaluation or a grade and is not eligible for a grade change appeal. Students electing this option are not required to meet pre-requisite requirements for the course.
This is NOT a grade. It is an enrollment status and must be declared within the first 5 days of the term. See the Audit Policy section below for more information.
A repeat indicator of “**” will be placed on your transcript when a student has repeated a course that is not repeatable for credit. When a student repeats a course, the grade received for your most recent attempt will count. All other attempts at the course where a grade of A, B, C, D, F, FA, or INC was given will be changed to a grade of R or will show the ** indicator on your transcript, and will not be applied towards meeting your certificate and or degree requirements.
Students that have been placed on a waitlist, will be notified by email (sent to your assigned BMCC email account) from the Office of Instruction if a space becomes available and they are moved from the waitlist into the class. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure their status in any waitlisted courses. Students may attend/participate in the course until their waitlist status has been established and confirmed or until they are officially registered in the course. To check the status of a waitlisted course the student should check their term schedule on the Wolfweb. Students should also check their BMCC student email.
In most cases, up to 120 lower division transfer credit hours earned at a community college may transfer and be accepted toward graduation requirements by at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, and Oregon Institute of Technology.

Students may attain honor status each term by qualifying for the Vice President’s or the President’s List. In all cases, the student must have completed six (6) or more BMCC credits during the term with grades of A, B, C, or D. Levels of achievement are:
Vice President’s List: 3.5 to 3.74 GPA
President’s List: 3.75 to 4.0 GPA
Only courses taken at BMCC will count towards Honor Roll designations. Credit awareded through AP, CLEP, ACE, DSST, or credit-by-exam will not be included. Only term GPAs, not cumulative GPAs, are counted for these recognitions.
The Registrar’s Office will send notifications to each qualifying student at the end of each term.
Catalog requirements are effective for five academic years. Students may graduate under the catalog requirements existing at the time of initial enrollment as long as they successfully complete at least one BMCC credit applicable to degree requirements per academic year unless they choose to meet the requirements of a later catalog. A new academic year begins each summer and ends the following spring. No catalog is valid for longer than the spring following the fifth academic year of issuance. For the 2019-2020 academic year, students may complete their requirements under one of the following academic years (2014-2015 thru 2019-2020).
BMCC’s commencement ceremony is held each year in June on the last day of spring term. Students who have completed or will complete all of their certificate and/or degree requirements during or prior to summer 2020 are eligible to participate in the 2020 ceremony. Those completing requirements as of fall 2020 or later will be invited to participate in the following year’s ceremony.
