Due to unforeseen circumstances, our All-Campus Fire Drill that had been planned for October 3rd has been rescheduled to October 11th. During the drill, all students, staff, faculty, and visitor are required to evacuate from all campus buildings and assemble in the designated evacuation areas (shown on map below). The alarms will activate to begin the drill. Campus Security personnel and Building Marshals will assist at evacuation points and provide directional information. Participation is mandatory if you are on campus.
We will also be taking this opportunity to test the college emergency notification system, RAVE. We will be sending a notification out via text message, automated voice message, and email. If you are staff or student and do not receive the notification, you can use your college email address and login password to update your settings at https://www.getrave.com/login/shoreline
The evacuation locations are designated by a white sign with red lettering entitled “Emergency Evacuation Point” along the perimeter of campus (reference attached photo).
Individuals evacuating buildings should proceed to the evacuation site closest to their location (map attached, evacuation sites marked by “X”)
Everyone must immediately evacuate, in a calm and controlled manner.
Do not attempt to re-enter buildings until authorized to do so by Campus Security personnel or a Building Marshal.
We do our best to limit disruptions to campus operations and classes, but there is no one-size-fits all for perfect timing for emergency drills. If you have any questions (besides the exact time of the drill), please feel free to email Acting Director of Safety & Security Gregory Cranson gcranson@shoreline.edu
As we work our way through the first week of the quarter, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.
Parking The first 2 weeks of Fall Quarter 2024 (Sept. 25 – Oct. 11) is the official grace period for students to purchase their quarterly permits. During this time, citations will not be issued for lack of parking permit in student areas (ADA violations, parking in multiple stalls, and other illegal and hazardous violations will still be cited). You may still find warnings on your vehicle instructing you to purchase a permit, but you will not be cited for lack of a permit.
Beginning Monday, October 14, permits are required to park on campus for all days each quarter, Monday-Thursday from 6:00am-4:00pm, excluding weekends and holidays. Citations with fines are issued for ADA violations, PCC parking violations, Visitor Lot violations, and other illegal/hazardous (fire lane, blocking roadway, not parked in a parking stall, etc.).
Students can purchase parking permits in Student Finance (aka Cashiers). When purchasing your permit, please be ready to provide your vehicle make, model, and license plate number. Daily permits are also available for purchase at pay stations located as you enter the East Gate from Greenwood Avenue and on the main walkway between Bldg. 7000 (Housing) and Bldg. 1000.

As work begins for the new STEAM (Bracken) building, we will be seeing closures of campus parking within the coming week. Please refer to the photo below for reference.
Friday, 05/31/2024, the southernmost section of the Upper Event Lot located south of Bldg. 2000 (indicated by the yellow box) will be closed for the duration of the project for construction parking.
This section has seen zero staff or student use since college returned from COVID-19 pandemic operations and should therefore have no impact on campus operations.
Thursday, 06/06/2024, the top section of the Upper Event Lot and the parking immediately west of Bldg. 1600 will be closed for the duration of the project for construction parking, construction lay down, and construction trailers.
This will eliminate the two electric vehicle charging stations west of Bldg. 1600.
We are working to bring the 7 new stations north of Bldg. 6000 online before the 1600 stations go down.
It is possible that these stations will close before 06/06/2024 as changes have to be made in order to utilize the electrical power for construction.
This will eliminate the motorcycle parking and daily parking permit pay station in this area.
Access to the smoking shelter will still be open.
The green lines indicate vehicle access that will remain open.
The blue line indicates a pedestrian access that will remain open that connects the Lower Event Lot and bottom half of the Upper Event Lot to the main campus area.
There will be sporadic closures of other areas throughout the construction process, as much advanced notice as possible will be given for those.
As we work our way through the first week of the quarter, we wanted to take this opportunity to provide some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.
