Budget and Financial Services Update

College Community,

I would like to share with you a few updates related to Shoreline’s budget and financial services.

First, a new folder titled “2022-23 State Allocation” has been added to the Fiscal Stewardship and Accountability  Share Point site.  In this folder, you’ll have access to the college’s state allocation as amended by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges throughout the fiscal year.  You’ll be able to see exactly how much the state has appropriated for general operations, wages and benefits increases, and specific programs, such as Guided Pathways and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Second, in the absence of the Director of Financial Services, the day-to-day work of the office continues to be carried out by a very able team in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Student Financials, Purchasing, and Travel.  We are also moving ahead with filling a vacant Fiscal Specialist position and look forward to being back to full strength shortly.  In the meantime, I am still the main point of contact for any questions or concerns you may have.

And third, the Budget Office continues to be focused on yearend close, our first in the ctcLink environment.  The process is new and complex and has taken priority over other work – such as loading in the new budget – that typically would have been well underway by now.  We again ask for your patience and understanding.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Bob Williamson

Acting Vice President for Business and Administrative Services

Fall Quarter 2022 – COVD Assistance Funding – Last Quarter

Fall Quarter 2022 will be the last quarter of Cares funding – Emergency Aid COVID Assistance.  Please be aware of these details:

·     Fall Quarter Pandemic Assistance –  Emergency Aid Application opens August 22nd.  https://www.shoreline.edu/apply-and-aid/funding-and-aid/financial-aid/covid-funding.aspx

·     Students cannot submit applications before August 22nd for Fall Quarter.  If an application is submitted before August 22nd, it will not be considered for funding.

·     There is a limited balance remaining in Federal Covid Assistance.  We only have $350,000.00 funds remaining.  Not all students who meet “exceptional need” guidelines will be served.

·     Students may request up to $2298.00 for assistance for tuition, books, technology, housing, food, child-care, healthcare or transportation expenses due to COVID-related financial struggles.

·     Students requesting tuition assistance for Fall Quarter 2022 should give electronic permission to Shoreline to pay their charges.

·     Students requesting emergency aid for other expenses will receive their funds through Bankmobile.

·     Fall Quarter disbursement will begin on September 29, 2022 through the student’s chosen Bankmobile disbursement method.

·     Students must have a United States address to receive a Bankmobile disbursement.

·     Applications will be reviewed for common threads seen by the Fraud Investigative Team.

·     Students must be enrolled for at least one class at Shoreline to be considered for emergency aid funding.  Students cannot receive COVID Assistance funding at multiple colleges for the same quarter.

·     Students who indicate they want the funds to payoff outstanding debts at Shoreline during the pandemic period, do not need to be enrolled at Shoreline for Fall Quarter 2022.

Thanks for the teamwork, as we try to reach our students in need.
