Fall 2021 Starfish Update

October 18, 2021 by Leave a Comment
Greetings Shoreline faculty & staff!  With fall quarter underway, the Starfish implementation team would like to provide you with an update.  As you are already aware, Starfish is a retention-oriented student success software that will replace Advisor Data Portal and provide our advising teams with a robust set of case management tools to facilitate a proactive student services model in alignment with the Guided Pathways framework.

What’s happened so far
The Starfish Implementation team spent summer quarter working on the technical setup of integrating Starfish with our student information system, HP3000, and Microsoft Outlook.  During this same time, advisors and advising leadership from both domestic and international teams worked through several configuration modules to set up the Starfish features in a way that reflects our current services.

What’s happening now
Fall term is all about testing and training!  Since late September, we’ve been reviewing our configuration for accuracy and ensuring that the features are working correctly.  Throughout October, advisors are engaging with a series of just-in-time training modules to build proficiency before we launch on November 1, 2021. On that date, advisors will begin using Starfish to look up students, manage their caseloads, schedule appointments, and record notes.  

What’s coming next
Winter 2022 will bring many exciting developments: the student portal will open on January 3rd, at which time students will book appointments with advisors directly in Starfish. Throughout winter, we’ll focus on supporting student usage of Starfish and making technical updates as we transition from HP3000 to ctcLink.  Throughout the year, you can expect to hear more about Starfish via quarterly DAAG announcements and at presentations in divisional meetings.


What if I have more questions?
Check the Starfish project webpage for more information about the long-term timeline, project teams, and other details.  You can email starfish@shoreline.edu with any questions.  Finally, you can meet with the implementation project manager, Moriah Shistle, during weekly open office hours throughout fall term.  Check the Shoreline employee calendar for details.

Annual Title IX Training Requirement

October 14, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Maintaining a safe, supportive learning and working environment is one of the most important things we can do for our students and each other. To that end, Shoreline requires that all employees and students complete annual training on Title IX, the Federal law that prohibits gender discrimination and sexual harassment in learning organizations receiving Federal funding.
If you last completed Title IX training prior to July 1, 2021, please plan to refresh your training by the end of Fall Quarter. You can fulfill the training requirement in one of three ways: complete a one-hour online course, attend a live training session, or schedule a one-on-one meeting with the Title IX Coordinator.


All Employees received an email last week with a link to access online Title IX training. The sender will be Shoreline Community College and the subject line will read, in part, “Shoreline Community College has assigned you training.” If you choose to complete your training online, just follow the instructions in the email to access the course. If you prefer to attend a live session or schedule a one-on-one meeting with the Title IX Coordinator, you can simply delete the email. Your completion of the training requirement will be noted.


For newer employees, there is a live (virtual) Introduction to Title IX training was scheduled on Wednesday, October 13th from 2:00-3:30 pm. For employees who have previously completed Title IX training, there is a live (virtual) Title IX Refresher session scheduled on October 21st from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm. Email TitleIXCoordinator@shoreline.edu to sign up for either session.

More information about these sessions and other Title IX-related training opportunities is available on the Title IX intranet page.
If you would like to schedule a one-on-one training, please email TitleIXCoordinator@shoreline.edu.


Please note: training is to be completed during regular work time. Associate faculty will be compensated for time taken to complete Title IX training (up to 1.5 hours at the hourly rate of $52 per hour). To receive payment, fill out the Faculty Additional Hours form once you have completed the training and send the form to TitleIXCoordinator@shoreline.edu.


Shoreline has a policy and procedures in place to address gender-related discrimination and sexual misconduct. To learn more, please see Policy 4113 – Discrimination, Harassment & Title IX and the associated procedures linked from the College’s Policies and Procedures page.


Thank you for your continued commitment to making Shoreline a safe and supportive environment for all of us.
