Dear students,
Fall quarter begins in just a few weeks and we want to be sure you have the latest COVID-19 vaccination information for Shoreline Community College.
It is important to note Washington state has removed the ability for students to claim a vaccine exemption for personal/philosophical reasons. Please read below.
Shoreline is a Vaccinated & Masked Campus
For the health and safety of our community, the College is following all Washington state requirements and will require all students and employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 beginning fall quarter 2021. While this decision was not made lightly and we respect each student’s right to make their own health choices, COVID-19 vaccines are considered a safe and effective way to ensure a healthy campus. Masks will be worn indoors by all students, employees, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status.
Verify Your Vaccination Status Now
If you are enrolling in any fall classes (online or in-person), you will be required to complete an online vaccine attestation form before classes begin on September 29 or claim a medical or religious exemption. You will attest to which vaccine you have received and on what dates. You will not be asked to upload or present proof, but you will attest that the information you provide is true and correct. Students who make false claims may be subject to a discipline process. Verify your status now.
Vaccination Deadlines
If you need additional time to become fully vaccinated, the College will accept attestation forms until October 18. To meet this requirement, you must receive the recommended doses of approved vaccines by these dates:
- Pfizer – First dose on or by September 13, second dose or by October 4
- Moderna – First dose on or by September 6, second dose on or by October 4
- Johnson & Johnson – Single dose on or by October 4
Medical or Religious Exemptions
Students who wish to claim an exemption for medical or religious reasons must complete the online vaccine attestation form and provide documentation of a medical or health condition that prevents them from receiving a vaccine, or documentation that their sincerely held religious belief is in contradiction to taking a vaccine.
Personal or Philosophical Exemptions
The state no longer allows college students to claim an exemption for personal or philosophical reasons. Any student who already claimed that exemption at Shoreline must submit a new online vaccine attestation form and either attest to receiving a vaccine or claim a medical or religious exemption.
On-Campus Vaccine Clinics
Pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinics are available on campus through October 8 for all students, employees, and the public Mondays & Wednesdays 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. (closed September 6) and Fridays 9 a.m. – noon. Sign up for an appointment now; some drop-in appointments will also be available.
Questions?
I encourage you to read about Shoreline’s vaccination requirements, approved vaccines, privacy concerns, and more on the College’s COVID-19 web page. If you do not see the information you are looking for, you may also contact the Office of Students, Equity & Success at vp-ses@shoreline.edu.
I understand the latest changes around these requirements may impact your choice to enroll at Shoreline. The College is working diligently to ensure we provide updates to you in a timely manner so you can make decisions regarding your educational plans that fit your needs.
We look forward to safely welcoming many of you back on campus starting September 29!
Thank you,
Phillip J. King
Acting President

This change gives you more time to secure funding and aid, and reduces the number of students who are dropped from classes for non-payment.

- Tuition for courses added after September 14 is due within 5 business days of registering or by September 29, whichever is first.
- Once fall quarter begins on September 29, tuition and fees are due within 24 hours of registering.

Dear Shoreline Community College Students,
The faculty, staff, and administration at Shoreline are very excited to have so many of you returning to campus in the fall. We want you to know that your safety is our top priority!
Governor Jay Inslee released a new proclamation with updated COVID-19 guidance for Washington colleges. The full proclamation is available online, it provides two paths forward for colleges: (1) require vaccinations on campus and operate with no social distancing requirements; or (2) have no vaccine requirement and operate under many of the same restrictions that were in place this past year.
Based on this guidance, we have made the decision that, effective September 7, 2021, Shoreline Community College will require students, staff, and faculty to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. However, as there continue to be concerns related to new variants of the virus, and to ensure a safe environment, the College will continue to require that masks be worn at all times while indoors in settings with other people (offices, meetings, classrooms).
Students who are taking classes on campus will need to provide this verification before classes begin in Fall 2021, unless they are claiming a medical, religious, or philosophical (personal) exemption. Please note, students who are enrolled exclusively in online or virtual classes and will not be required to verify their vaccination status. We are currently developing a system that will allow you to submit COVID-19 vaccination verification or exemption. Watch for more details on this process in the coming weeks.
In tandem with the gradual re-opening of our campuses, the College will continue to offer robust online learning options and virtual services so that all of our students can learn in the environment that works best for them with the support they need, as they pursue their education at Shoreline.
Our hope is that being a fully vaccinated campus will be the best and quickest way for us to get back to in-person learning in a way that protects our individual and collective health and safety while maintaining an abundance of caution.
While this message provides a broad overview regarding the direction the College will be moving in, the College will continue to post updated COVID guidance and FAQs in the coming weeks.
Together we triumph!
Sincerely,
Phillip King
Acting President
