Sexual Assault Awareness Month Resources & Workshops April 21-28

Every 73 seconds a person in the United States is sexually assaulted. Research shows that survivors of sexual assault face an increased risk of depression, PTSD, substance abuse and self-harm – all significant barriers to success in school, in the workplace, and in all other areas of life.
Sexual assault affects all of us, directly and indirectly. We can all do something to help:

• Be an active bystander. If you see someone at risk of being harmed, do something – intervene directly (if it’s safe to do so), create a distraction or enlist the help of others to interrupt the situation.

• Support survivors. It is hard to know what to say when someone tells you they have been sexually assaulted. The most important things you can do are listen with compassion, withhold judgement, and assist them in finding resources that will provide the help they need.

• Report sexual assault involving members of the SCC community to the Title IX Coordinator. Submit a report online, or email TitleIXCoordinator@shoreline.edu.

Fall 2021 Registration Date Changes

Greetings,

The College is shifting the start of the registration period for fall quarter 2021 to provide additional time to prepare to offer some additional in-person class options for fall. The revised registration dates are as follows:

  • Continuing Student Registration begins May 24 (instead of May 10)
  • New Student Registration begins June 1 (instead of May 17)

Please direct students to the Academic Calendar (or www.shoreline.edu/cal) for the most up-to-date enrollment dates. For employees, the Important Dates pdf has also been updated for internal use. Summer registration dates are not affected and remain the same.

Additional information about the fall in-person options will be shared with the campus community soon. Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we work through these changes.

Sincerely,

Lisa Malik
