PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

BELLEVUE COLLEGE

[Filed September 25, 2024, 9:02 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 132H-122 WAC, Student financial debt.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Chapter 34.05 RCW and RCW 28B.50.140.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Housekeeping edit to bring chapter 132H-122 WAC and BC policy 7200 into compliance with RCW 28B.10.293 regarding the types of student debts for which the college may withhold registration privileges. Statute dictates that only tuition fees, room and board, and financial aid funds constitute debt the college may act upon.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Lori McRea Keller, 3000 Landerholm Circle S.E., phone 425-564-6155, TTY 425-564-6189, email loreen.keller@bellevuecollege.edu, website www.bellevuecollege.edu.
