The polarization of Be disks that are not axisymmetric is discussed, with results given for one-armed density waves or global disk oscillations (GDO). Polarimetric diagnostics of electron scattering Be disks are presented, including the expected behavior at (a) optical wavelengths where the star is the dominant source of luminosity and (b) infrared wavelengths where the disk is more luminous than the star. Results for detached disks are given. A qualitative discussion of polarization at Hα is also presented.
