Cafeteria and Catering Services Update 

The critical work to clean, repair, and certify the kitchen storage, preparation, and cooking equipment continues with our Facilities and the Upper Crust Food Service teams.  Due to the age and 8-year dormancy of the kitchen, much of the equipment needs significant repairs to get them operational, for example, fire suppression systems, commercial kitchen dishwasher / sanitizer, and, most notably, the walk-in coolers and freezers that are not working at this time. 

King County Health Department (KCHD) will not issue the operating license until this and other work is completed. We are procuring cost estimates in accordance with WA State laws and rules before we can begin work. It will take two to three weeks before this critical equipment is repaired, replaced, and certified. The HVAC vendor identified to repair the walk-in coolers and freezers notified us on 9/9/2026 that they are no longer authorized to perform work under the WA State DES Contract. While we are on target for a Fall quarter opening, the selection of an alternate HVAC vendor or procurement method will further delay the Health Department licensing and food services opening beyond October 1. 

Additional updates will be shared via this “Campus Updates” email in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned for more…

Action Required: Email MFA Option Being Retired October 26, 2026 

To align our authentication methods with current security best practices and strengthen the overall security of the ctcLink environment, the SBCTC will be making a change to the way Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is used with ctcLink. 

Beginning Monday, October 26, 2026, the Email option will no longer be available as a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method within ctcLink. 

Why is this changing? 

As part of a systemwide security initiative across Washington’s community and technical colleges, Email is being removed as an MFA option because email accounts can be vulnerable to phishing, password reuse, and other forms of compromise. Removing Email as an authentication factor helps reduce security risks and encourages the use of stronger, more secure methods. 

Recommended MFA options include: 

• Authenticator Apps (Google, Okta Verify, Microsoft) 

• Security keys (such as YubiKeys) 

What do I need to do? 

Prior to October 26, 2026, please verify your selected MFA options in ctcLink. If you are already using an MFA method other than Email, no additional action is required at this time. 

If Email is currently your only MFA method, you will be prompted to choose and enroll in another MFA option the next time you log in after October 26, 2026. We encourage you to update your MFA settings before that date to avoid any login interruptions when accessing ctcLink services. 

Need Help? 

Instructions for setting up and managing MFA options are available through the ctcLink Reference Center: 

Employees: HCM Employee Self Service Okta – Multi-Factor Authentication – select Setting Up Your Multi-Factor Recovery Options 

Students: Student Self Service Okta – Multi-Factor Authentication – select Setting Up Your Multi-Factor Recovery Options 

Questions? 

If you need assistance updating your MFA settings or have questions about this change, please contact TSS by visiting https://support.shoreline.edu. 

Thank you for helping us maintain a secure and reliable technology environment for our college community.
