Campus Network Outage Sat., Dec. 23

December 20, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Saturday, December 23rd all campus networks will be unavailable between the hours of 7:00am and 12:00pm. Technology Support Services will be replacing the main campus switch to improve network service and connectivity.

If you are going to be on campus during this period, there will be no network or internet connectivity. Do not attempt to utilize any network services from on campus during these hours as data loss will occur. Email (accessible at mail.office365.com) and Canvas (accessible at shoreline.instructure.com) services will remain accessible from off campus during this outage.

An all-campus email will be sent out 15 minutes prior to disconnecting the networks reminding faculty and staff of the advertised outage. TSS appreciates your cooperation and understanding during this outage.

Give Feedback on Canvas: Due Wed., Dec. 20

December 19, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Please take a few minutes to fill out this short, four-question survey on Canvas. We need to know what is most helpful to faculty about our current learning management system and what needs to be improved.

Why are we asking now? Our Canvas license comes through the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) and that license expires June 30, 2019.  For a future LMS license, the SBCTC legally must go through a formal request for proposals (RFP) process in which all interested LMS vendors can submit proposals to be the SBCTC’s next LMS. Your feedback will help the SBCTC and Shoreline determine what we request from vendors.

Could Canvas be the successful vendor after June 30, 2019? Yes, depending on how the RFP process goes.

There will be more opportunities to be involved in this process in the coming year. For now, we’d love for you to take a few minutes to respond to the survey, due by Wed., Dec. 20.

Free parking on campus Jan. 2 – 8

December 19, 2017 by Leave a Comment

To facilitate the needs of students and their families in preparation for the start of winter quarter, parking on campus will be free Jan. 2 – 8. No fees are required to park Jan. 2 – 8, and no citations will be issued for not paying parking fees. We ask that visitors to campus do still park in the appropriate parking areas during this period of free parking. If you know any students who still need to register for classes, let them know to take advantage of the free parking and come on down to campus to get registered!

Safety & Security will post signage on the parking machines on Free Parking Days.

Thank you.
