We Have A ctcLink Go-Live Date!

Dear Faculty and Staff, 

I am contacting you with some important and exciting updates regarding ctcLink. 

I want to share that the statewide ctcLink Steering Committee approved the go-live weekends for the nine schools in our group. Shoreline is now scheduled to go-live on ctcLink on February 28, 2022. This will mark an important milestone as the College continues to review our systems and processes to improve the student experience. 

Over the past two years, the ctcLink Project Team has worked with over 120 Subject Matter Experts from across campus to begin the process of replacing our aging HP software with a modern and mobile-friendly statewide information system to support our student, human resource, and financial needs. Students, faculty, and staff will benefit from having 24/7 access to the tools and resources they need, as well as the efficiencies that will come with the new system. 

As I take over the role of Executive Sponsor, I want to personally thank everyone who has been involved in the project thus far for their countless hours of time and effort, as well as their colleagues who have been supportive as they complete this important work. 

Throughout the fall, we will be providing you with regular updates regarding the project, sharing more information about system features and benefits, as well as information about important dates, training and resources to support you through this transition. 

For more information, please visit the ctcLink website or email the project team at ctcLink@shoreline.edu

Sincerely,  

Phillip J. King 

Acting President

Happy ADA Anniversary!

Happy 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)!

July 26, 2021 marks 31 years since the ADA, now the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) was signed.
This historical piece of civil rights legislation made it possible for many people to receive accommodations in colleges like Shoreline, to be accommodated at work and to flourish in their careers, and to have access to many places where they otherwise may have hit barriers. The ADAAA is a significant example of diversity, equity, and inclusion, proving that this individuals with disabilities, a large population of our community, can have access as they choose.


If any student feels that they many benefit from reasonable accommodations or modifications to assist them in being successful in their college career, they may reach out to Student Accessibility Services at sas@shoreline.edu. Employees who believe they may benefit from reasonable accommodations may contact Human Resources at scchr@shoreline.edu.
