Election Day is Almost Here! Learn About Accessible Voting from the Accessibility Advisory Committee
2024 is a big year for voting, and we in the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) like to remind our community that all of our friends should have access to vote, including those with disabilities.
As a government activity, individuals may request reasonable accommodations for voting or ask for assistance with the voting process. This is done at the state level, through Washington’s Office of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State has a specific document with information for Voters with Disabilities.
Accessible Voting Units
Accessible Voting Units, or AVUs, are available at voting stations 18 days before the election in Washington. AVUs must meet specific accessibility standards, just as all polling places must meet the building code (in Washington State this is the International Building Code) for accessibility standards. An example of polling accessibility standards can be found on the United States Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division website, with the ADA Checklist for Polling Places.
Assisted Voting
Each vote center has voting machines with audio, large print ballots, and other assistive tools for those who would like to vote with alternative formats or who need assistance from an elections staff member. Have questions about how to prepare to vote as a person with a disability? Check out the Q&A on the U.S. Vote Foundation’s Washington Resources for Voters with Disabilities.
Resources
- Accessible Voting Options – King County’s general information about options for accessible voting.
- Accessible Voting – General information about voting as a person with a disability in Washington State.
- Accessibility Advisory Committee YouTube Playlist – The AAC YouTube playlist has a variety of videos, with PowerPoints, presentations performed by members, and recordings of past workshops at Shoreline. Let us know about specific topics that you think would be interesting for us to develop into videos!
How are we doing?
Please submit feedback about the information that the Accessibility Advisory Committee shares to Miranda Levy via email at mlevy@shoreline.edu so that the committee can review together and serve the campus community better.
Worried About a Student’s Well-Being or Academic Concerns? Care Team and Shoreline Early Alert are Here to Help!
October 8, 2024 by Leave a Comment
Shoreline Early Alert
Shoreline Early Alert (SEA) is a referral program to serve all students (domestic and international) during the first three weeks of each quarter. SEA is designed to provide early academic intervention to students encountering difficulty. That is why our goal is to reach out to the students early in the quarter and connect them to the appropriate resources.
Examples of SEA referrals include:
- No activity or little activity in Canvas
- Difficulties with attendance, tardiness, or pacing with class
- Low test or quiz scores
- Excessive missing assignments
- Lack of participation or communication
How to Make a Referral Use the SEA Referral Form – Formstack rather than sending individual emails. A SEA team member will respond to the referral within a business day by reaching out to both you and the student.
Care Team At Shoreline, we care and are here to help. At any time, year-round, are you worried about a student? Did you see or hear something concerning? Would you like to share appropriate resources with a student? The Shoreline Care Team assesses and provides support to students who may be in distress or display concerning behavior. Using the online form, you are encouraged to provide a report, even if you are unsure about your concern, want to consult with a Care Team member, or just want the information to be documented.
Please note: the Care Team does not respond directly to emergencies. In an emergency, call 911 and Campus Safety & Security (206-235-5860). Questions? Contact Derek Levy, Dean Student Support & Success, at dlevy@shoreline.edu or Savena Garrett, Director of Student Support Services at sgarrett@shoreline.edu.
RESCHEDULED: All-Campus Fire Drill
October 8, 2024 by Leave a Comment
Dear Campus Community,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our All-Campus Fire Drill that had been planned for October 3rd has been rescheduled to October 11th. During the drill, all students, staff, faculty, and visitor are required to evacuate from all campus buildings and assemble in the designated evacuation areas (shown on map below). The alarms will activate to begin the drill. Campus Security personnel and Building Marshals will assist at evacuation points and provide directional information. Participation is mandatory if you are on campus.
We will also be taking this opportunity to test the college emergency notification system, RAVE. We will be sending a notification out via text message, automated voice message, and email. If you are staff or student and do not receive the notification, you can use your college email address and login password to update your settings at https://www.getrave.com/login/shoreline
- The evacuation locations are designated by a white sign with red lettering entitled “Emergency Evacuation Point” along the perimeter of campus (reference attached photo).
Individuals evacuating buildings should proceed to the evacuation site closest to their location (map attached, evacuation sites marked by “X”)
- Everyone must immediately evacuate, in a calm and controlled manner.
- Do not attempt to re-enter buildings until authorized to do so by Campus Security personnel or a Building Marshal.
We do our best to limit disruptions to campus operations and classes, but there is no one-size-fits all for perfect timing for emergency drills. If you have any questions (besides the exact time of the drill), please feel free to email Acting Director of Safety & Security Gregory Cranson gcranson@shoreline.edu
Respectfully,
Your Department of Safety & Security
