Tombolo Institute at Bellevue College

Updates Ahead

Bellevue College Continuing Education is evolving to better serve our community. As the landscape of professional noncredit education has shifted in recent years, we will be closing the Tombolo Institute at the end of the fall quarter and will no longer offer professional education and technology noncredit courses and certificates. Moving forward, Bellevue College Continuing Education will focus on the areas where we see the greatest and growing demand: personal enrichment, world languages, and our vibrant TELOS Lifelong Learners 55+ program.

This renewed focus allows us to expand offerings that inspire curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning.

Winter registration is now open! We invite you to explore more than 60 engaging courses across Personal Enrichment, TELOS Lifelong Learners (55+), and World Languages. Whether you’re looking to discover a new hobby, sharpen your skills, or connect with others who share your interests, we hope you’ll find something that excites you in 2026.

Most Winter classes begin in January—register today at bellevuecollege.edu/ce to secure your spot.

For questions or assistance, our Bellevue College Continuing Education customer service team is here to help.

And if you are looking for academic professional and technical certificates, Bellevue College continues to offer many high-demand professional and technical certificates for academic credit through the College’s admissions process.
