Dear Campus Community,
Early this morning, 08/15/2023, Campus Security was alerted by Shoreline Police that a suspect was in possession of stolen keys to Bldg. 7000 Campus Living was considered armed and dangerous, and possibly headed to campus. As Campus Security arrived at Bldg. 7000 Campus Living, they received a call stating that the caller believed the suspect was in the building. The suspect was then seen exiting the building and leaving campus. Campus Security immediately notified Shoreline Police who responded. Campus Security then set up and maintained constant observation of Bldg. 7000 Campus Living to ensure that the suspect did not attempt to return.
A short time later, Shoreline Police updated Campus Security, stating that the suspect was believed to be in the vicinity of N 160th Street and Aurora Avenue N and that a search was underway. Campus Security maintained their position around Bldg. 7000 Campus Living until Shoreline Police stated that the suspect was confirmed to have fled the city. Shoreline Police also confirmed that the keys to Bldg. 7000 Campus Living had been recovered and returned to the owner. Out of an abundance of caution, Campus Security maintained a constant presence at Bldg. 7000 Campus Living until 5:00 AM.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Campus Security for their prompt response to this incident, and their continued dedication to protecting and serving our campus.

Cybersecurity Advisory
Shoreline Community College (SCC) has received notice from two of our third-party vendors, the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA), that a cybersecurity incident involving a third-party software tool (MOVEit) may have exposed personally identifiable information of current and prior students and employees.
The MOVEit Transfer tool is a widely used filesharing application used by many businesses, organizations, and higher education institutions worldwide. Many of these organizations could be impacted by this event. It is important to note that SCC does not use the MOVEit software, though these third-party service providers do.
Shoreline Community College shares student enrollment data with the NSC. Some of the data shared with the Clearinghouse includes personally identifiable information. At this time, we do not know the extent of the data security breach. However, we continue to keep in contact with NSC and TIAA to monitor the situation and will immediately notify the individuals who have been impacted to the best of our ability. The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges has advised us that ctcLink has not been affected, as this incident is localized to the third-party vendors. We also know that this is unrelated to the previous ransomware incident Shoreline Community College experienced at the end of March.
National Student Clearinghouse
The National Student Clearinghouse is a nonprofit organization that provides educational reporting, data exchange, and verification services to more than 3,600 colleges and universities nationwide. SCC works with the clearinghouse for a variety of purposes including enrollment and degree verification services and student loan reporting requirements. Data provided to the National Student Clearinghouse includes personally identifiable information and education records. The National Student Clearinghouse has posted details about this incident on its website.
TIAA
TIAA is a financial organization that offers investment and insurance services to employees working in the academic, research, medical, governmental, and cultural fields. SCC provides names, addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers for those employees who choose to participate in TIAA services. Further inquiry can also be directed to: TIAA’s National Contact Center 800-842-2252. TIAA’s Security Center at https://www.tiaa.org/public/support/security-center

If you have been affected by this breach, we will contact you in the coming weeks as soon as we obtain specific details from the NSC as to who was affected and what information was accessed.

Dear Campus Community,
On Thursday, August 3rd, the college will be having an all campus fire evacuation drill. During the drill, all students, staff, and visitors will have to evacuate from all campus buildings and assemble in the designated evacuation areas. The areas are designated by a white sign with red lettering “Emergency Evacuation Point” (reference photo below). You will also find a map attached with the evacuation points marked with a blue star. The alarms will activate to begin the drill. Once all persons have exited all buildings and moved to a designated evacuation point, the alarms will be silenced and everyone will be able to return to their buildings. Campus Security personnel and Building Marshals will be participating with assisting at evacuation points and directional information. Participation is mandatory if you are on campus.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Safety & Security Director Greg Cranson at gcranson@shoreline.edu
