Events and News 

Hello folks! Hope all is well. This one is going to be short. Last Saturday I was able to attend the ShoreLake Shoreline Short Short film festival hosted by ShoreLake Arts. It was a great event featuring diverse film genres, techniques, and moods. It included students, some of our faculty, and community work!  We are lucky to have them as a community partner, providing wonderful opportunities for our faculty and students. 

What else did I do this week? Like you:

Today is the second and final day of our Mid-Cycle Accreditation visit. The entire campus is invited to the final session from 3:30-3:50 pm in the Boardroom 1010M-in person only; the evaluators will instruct us on what to expect next.  

Enrollment  
 
The 10^th day enrollment report shows a slight increase in spring enrollments compared to last year, continuing the College’s trend of increased enrollments. 

Financial Services  

 
Please refer to the 2023-24 Travel Reimbursement Expense Cut-Off Deadlines Memorandum for the upcoming fiscal year end (FYE) close to ensure that the Accounts Payable time has ample time to process payments and reconcile accounts. 

Below are a few key points regarding our deadline:

• Travel authorizations for travel through June 30, 2024, must be fully approved by the June 10, 2024, cutoff — contact travel@shoreline.edu and rburchfield@shoreline.edu if an exception is needed 
• Expense Reports for travel dates through June 30, 2024, must be fully approved by July 5, 2024, with prior notice. Will be processed with an accounting date of June 30, 2024. Same for other reimbursements — with prior notice. 

Technology Support Services (TSS) 

Three items for this week’s update: 

1. TSS received an update from our third-party partner on the Wired Network restoration project’s status.  We were previously scheduled to begin work on the week of April 22nd; however, we have been informed that the Union Local 46 has gone on strike and this unfortunately involves the workers that were scheduled to being here on campus. They are anticipating an agreement to come together soon, so we are tentatively scheduling work to begin the week of April 29^th. Once we have confirmation of this start date, an updated communication will be sent including timelines for each building.  

2. TSS has created a spreadsheet that includes the location and information of all physical Microsoft Teams phones across campus. This information was requested for anyone who needs to use a phone but does not have a license for Microsoft Teams (i.e., Students, Guests, etc.).  Although a phone number is listed, you must check with each department on availability.  As new phones are rolled out across campus, this list will be updated. The spreadsheet can be found at the following link:  VoIP phone devices across campus (location).xlsx 

3. TSS has received reports that some flash drives are not being recognized by the new Ricoh machines across campus. Please see the instructions below if you are having issues with your flash drive being recognized on the new machines: 

IMPORTANT: The following steps will erase all data on the flash drive. Please temporarily move ALL files from the flash drive onto a folder on your computer, only AFTER this task reformat the flash drive with FAT32 File System. 

To reformat the flash drive: 

For PC: 

1. Open the File Explorer and right-click on your Flash Drive. 
2. On the popup menu click “Format”. 
3. Make sure that “FAT32 File System” is selected. 
4. Uncheck the “Quick Format” option, if checked. 
5. Click “Start”. 
6. After it is finished, close the “Format” window. 
7. Your flash drive is now formatted. You can now move your files from the temporary folder back onto your flash drive. 

For Mac: 

1. Open the Disk Utility app and right-click on your Flash Drive. 
2. On the popup menu click “Erase”. 
3. Make sure that “MS-DOS (FAT)” is selected. 
4. Click “Erase”. 
5. After it is finished, close the “Disk Utility” app. 
6. Your Flash Drive is now formatted correctly. 

 Notes: 

• After completing the above steps, if your flash drive is still not recognized by the Ricoh machine, you may need to use a different brand of flash drive (SanDisk, Kingston, etc.). 
• Please keep in mind that flash drives with a larger amount of data may take a little longer to be recognized. If you have a large drive, please give a little extra time for the Ricoh machine to recognize the device. 
• If you need help with formatting a flash drive, please contact TSS for assistance.
