Hi folks,

Registration starts in a few  weeks, and the class schedule will show up online soon.  I want to alert you to an important change in our developmental math sequence starting spring quarter.

Effective spring quarter, there is no more Math 080. Instead, students who have passed Math 070 or have an appropriate score on the Compass test will enter Math 098 Intermediate Algebra I.  (This is the same course that was offered as “new” math 080 Winter quarter.)

As a reminder, students who are enrolled in the “new” MATH 080 winter quarter may register for MATH& 107, MATH& 146, PHIL& 120, or ECON& 201 spring quarter.  Students who are in MATH 080 now may write to mathadvising@shoreline.edu for entry codes.

Updated information about our math courses and the new pathway, including a new flowchart, is available on the website.

Also, there is a video featuring Dean Susan Hoyne that explains these changes.

If you or your students have any questions, please contact me at scalaway@shoreline.edu or mathadvising@shoreline.edu.

Thank you.

Good morning!  It may be hard to believe with this weather, but spring is just around the corner and with it comes – commencement!

For some students this is the culmination of years of effort and for some it is the beginning of their educational journey, but in either case it is our time to celebrate their accomplishments and our work together as a campus community.

Please take a moment and nominate a student and/or a faculty member to speak at our 50th commencement.  The forms are attached and also located at the information desk or in the Dean of Student’s Office

Make sure to fill out the form and submit it to Jennifer Mahern by email or intercampus mail at room 5202A in FOSS by March 5!

Dear fellow employee,

Effective Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, the College will begin using an online recruitment system provided by NEOGOV to improve the hiring process for job seekers and hiring managers.

Using this system, job seekers will be able to quickly and more easily apply online for positions currently open at the College via www.shoreline.edu/hr.  Interested job seekers may apply for current vacancies or sign up for new openings that become available at the College.  With NEOGOV, hiring authorities, screening committee members, and Human Resources staff can access and review application materials online in a secured environment to better support timely screening committee work and hiring decisions by the College.

Screening committee members selected for future recruitment processes will receive training on how to access and use this new online recruitment resource, however please direct questions about NEOGOV or other aspects of our recruitment and screening processes to Human Resources staff at any time.
