Enrollment Update from Bayta Maring: 

As of March 25, 2022, we are a little over half-way through enrollment 

  • Last year Spring 2021 enrollment was 36 days (March 1 – April 5) 
  • This year Spring 2022 enrollment was shortened to 19 days due to ctcLink conversion (March 16-April 4) 

Compared to the same date last year (March 18, 2021; about half-way through enrollment): 

  • Total FTES are down 24% (2386 to 1820) 
  • State-Supported FTES are down 27% (1727 to 1262) 
  • International Contract FTES are down 17% (404 to 334) 
  • Running Start FTES are down 17% (184 to 153) 
  • CEO/LCN FTES are down 21% (71 to 56) 
  • New to Shoreline FTES are down 57% (201 to  87)* 

*New to Shoreline is down in part due to a backlog of applications generated during the ctcLink transition 

*Note that in Winter 2022 compared to the previous year, we were down 8.8% overall

Employee/Campus Directory Updating Now Available with HR and ctcLink Changes 

Masking Voluntary (Indoor & Outdoor) Effective April 2nd Forward 
  

Employee/Campus Directory Updating Now Available with HR and ctcLink Changes

The ability to make changes to the Shoreline Employee/Campus Directory were recently disabled as the underlying software was transitioned from being based on HP data and processes to being based on ctcLink data and processes.

The ability to edit your own directory data has been restored and two Help Desk articles have been created explaining how to locate the Campus Directory (which has not changed) and how to edit your directory entry (which has changed).

These articles can always be accessed through the Shoreline Support Center.

Due to the way ctcLink works, and based on the needs of Human Resources at the College, the process of updating your directory information has been simplified. A number of fields that employees could previously update themselves have been converted to changes that the employee can make within ctcLink or that must be requested to be made by HR. In particular:

  • Employee name and title are set by HR in ctcLink. If you would like either of those changed, the process is now to email hr@shoreline.edu with your request.
  • Education continues to be something that HR enters on your behalf.
  • The departments you are in or teach in are now based on ctcLink data and do not need to be set by individual employees.

Thanks!

Gavin Smith
Acting Director
