CAMPUS WIRELESS NETWORK ISSUES UPDATE

January 9, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Good morning Campus community,

This is a quick update regarding the campus wireless networks. The new controller is in place and operational. Authentication issues occurring on the SCC Staff and SCC Student Wi-Fi wireless networks have been resolved. We are in the process of investigating access points that have not returned to service in several locations across campus. We will be investigating these from south campus to north campus in a building-by-building methodology. We are hoping to have the access points back in service by this afternoon. 

We understand the criticality of the wireless networks and are working to get them restored as quickly as possible. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. Further updates will be forthcoming as status changes.

Thank you,Ric

Important Update about Enrollment Management (Updated)

January 9, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Hello Campus Community, 

I am writing to you with an important update about enrollment at the College. On January 17-18, two consultants from an enrollment management firm called Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL) will visit our campus to complete a full analysis of our student services/enrollment-centered business processes with folks within different departments, including the admissions, advising, athletics, marketing, outreach & recruitment, and special student populations teams, as well as with students, deans, faculty representatives, and college leadership.  

Following their visit, the two consultants will write and share a report that senior college leadership will leverage in making key decisions as part of our Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) efforts. We will highlight their findings with you all in the months to come.  

As a reminder, SEM defines a coordinated, campus-wide plan that guides how a college identifies, recruits, enrolls, retains, and graduates students with a strong focus on student success and alignment with the college’s overall mission & goals and its financial stability. For example, a college might focus on targeted marketing efforts within different student communities and/or change parts of its admissions process to reduce bureaucratic barriers to students.  
 

As our community continues the process of healing and rebuilding, college leadership is committed to reducing barriers and challenges to students, creating more accessible, equitable, and inclusive business processes, and better supporting a diversity of students from all backgrounds, particularly those from underserved and unrepresented communities. Our goal is to strengthen enrollment and dynamically nurture the success of our students from application to graduation. 

Each of you has devoted much time and energy to supporting our students amid many transitions and challenges over the last few years. We appreciate you and look forward to collaborating with the College in the work ahead. 

Sincerely, 

Phillip J. King 

Vice President for Student Learning, Equity, & Success

Parking Machine Malfunction and Parking Enforcement Grace Period

January 9, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,

The Department of Safety & Security was made aware of several parking machine malfunctions this morning. Currently, no daily permits can be purchased from parking machines on campus. The vendor has been contacted and another update will be sent once a technician has completed troubleshooting and repairs. The college has always allowed for a grace period (approximately 1 week) at the beginning of the quarters for Staff Lot violations, Visitor Lot violations, and for vehicles not displaying a parking permit. The grace period for Winter Quarter 2023 will be thru Friday, January 20th. Please note, citations with fines assessed are always enforced (including during grace periods) for ADA parking violations, illegal parking, hazardous illegal parking, and Parent-Child Center parking violations. I hope everyone has a great start to Winter Quarter 2023.

For questions, please come to the Safety & Security Office (5102), call us at: (206) 546-4633 or email: safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu

Office Hours:

9am-4pm (Monday-Thursday

9am-3pm (Friday)Break: 12pm-1pm (Daily)

Respectfully,

Your Department of Safety & Security

College & Career Success 101: A Course for New Students

January 6, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Hello Campus Community, 

As the Winter Quarter approaches, we want to make sure you are informed about COL 101, a course designed for new students at Shoreline. You are invited to use this information as an opportunity to encourage your students to take the class. 

COL 101: Introduction to College & Career Success is a key part of our Guided Pathways effort and of both our Title III grants.  The course helps students explore their academic and career options, learn about campus resources, and prepare for success in college. COL 101 is intended for new, degree-seeking students and will count as elective credits for most degrees. It went through a robust development process. 

We’re in good company: most of our peer institutions offer a comparable course.  In fact, 16 of the 34 community & technical colleges (CTCs) in Washington State have made their first-year success course a requirement, and several more are working toward establishing similar requirements.  

Data show that students who take this type, of course, are more likely to persist and complete their degree or credential, and the positive effects are amplified when combined with other Guided Pathways best practices.  

This year, all new students who are undecided or pursuing a general AA-DTA degree are expected to take the course.  This is currently a “soft” expectation; there are no consequences for students who do not take the course, but we are trying to proactively guide students toward enrolling so that as many as possible can benefit from the experience. 

We’re communicating about the course to students via email messaging, social media outreach, and calling campaigns to new students.  

If you have questions or would like to know more, please contact Brigid Nulty, Shoreline’s Director for Guided Pathways, at bnulty@shoreline.edu.  

Sincerely, 

Phillip J. King 

Vice President for Student Learning, Equity, & Success
