Day 1: Common Access Questions in ctcLink

Hi Everyone,

We are off and running with ctcLink!  We have already gotten some very good questions thus far and wanted to share the most common in case you or anyone on your team have questions after you activate your account…

If you missed the popup box that contained your new ctclink ID during the account activation, but the system says your account is activated, you can use our ctcLink ID look up tool to look it up using your old SID.

My profile details are wrong / missing. What should I do?

You can review and update your personal information using the Personal Details tile in Employee Self Service. This includes information such as:

  • Address
  • Contact details
  • Preferred Name

**Please ensure your Emergency Contact information is correct**

I work for multiple colleges. Why can’t I see Shoreline info?

This is a common issue for folks who have already set up their preferences with another college.

Campus Solution users can set up their Shoreline preferences using these User Defaults instructions: https://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79784/l/1302449-9-2-campus-solutions-user-defaults

I’ve clicked on the HCM tab, but I don’t see my Time Tile. What do I do?

Please use Live Chat and the Drop-in Zoom sessions to discuss with our support team. They may ask you to submit a ticket via support@shoreline.edu.

Permissions – Dude, where’s my screen?

Please troubleshoot your access issues:
Talk to co-workers to compare access
Check out articles in Technical Support Center
Use Live Chat and Drop-in Zoom sessions

Once confirmed missing access to screens/tasks in ctcLink
Please work with your supervisor and ask them to submit a request via Security Change Request Form.  Include as much info as possible including Navigation path and other info discovered in troubleshooting such as coworker with access

If you still have questions, please…

Contact Technical Support at https://support.shoreline.edu/hc/en-us. Use the chat feature to get real-time support.

Go-Live is here! 

Successful launch of ctcLink!

Dear Shoreline Staff,

Shoreline ctcLink launch teams were working nonstop through the week/weekend and we are affirmed through our state partners for conversion to our new system. We also have assurance that the DG6A group (the 3 WA college’s converting this weekend) went extremely well. It was a huge undertaking by so many people working over this last three years. 

For many of you this might appear to be an undertaking over this last 6 months, and with increasing assistance from our state agency project team, our staff put everything they had into making sure the go-live went according to plan. With ctcLink, our students, faculty and staff will have access to information they need when they need it, with a broad range of mobile friendly self-service tools.

As we work to further implement all components of this new system, the College ctcLink team will continue to provide you information regarding resources and training to ensure you have the best experience possible. Please expect continued weekly updates with information that matters to you. 

Congratulations to all of our Shoreline conversion teams, we are officially launched! 

Phillip J. King, Ed.D.

Vice President for Student Learning, Equity, and Success

Campus Updates 2/24/22

Hi Campus Community,   

Here are this week’s updates!

RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19  
No new daily positive cases in the last 7 days.  

You may have heard about changes in COVID-19 protocols in the news; this is how they affect the College: 

  • Masking indoors is still required. While Washington state’s indoor mask mandate will be lifted on March 21, King County’s indoor mask order is still in effect for now.  While the outdoor mask mandate was lifted as of February 18, the College encourages masking in crowded outdoor settings.  
  • As of March 1, 2022, verification of vaccination will no longer be required for indoor recreational events (like theatre productions) and large outdoor events in King County


For your spring quarter 2022 planning:

  • Campus operating hours
  • Monday-Thursdays 8 am-5 pm: all services will be available in person, as well as online.  
  • Fridays 8am – 4:30 pm: all services will be available online.  Some services will be offered in person as well, as approved.  
  • Employee work schedules
  • Classified and administrative exempt staff will work on campus a minimum of 3 days/week during Monday-Thursday (or during Monday-Friday, if approved).  
  • Faculty librarians, counselors, and advisors will work on campus a minimum of 2-3 days/week during Monday-Thursday (or during Monday-Friday, if approved). 
  • Specific faculty offices will be maintained and cleaned daily throughout the quarter, as identified by the Division Dean. Communicate with your Dean. Meeting with students one-on-one or for office hours can take place in maintained faculty offices or online during spring quarter. 
  • Non-instructional activities, events, and rentals will still need to be requested/approved via the Activities Request form.   
  • Parking fees will continue to be on hold (i.e. parking remains free).
