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 refer to the Academic Calendar (or www.shoreline.edu/cal) for the most up-to-date enrollment dates. 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.

In recent days and weeks, there has been an overwhelming amount of news about racialized violence, police violence, and mass shootings. We are experiencing a challenging time in our nation, as we also persevere through a pandemic and many other concurrent social and economic issues. I want to acknowledge the distress, grief, fear, and pain many people in our campus community are feeling right now.
This is a time for us to recommit to taking care of ourselves and to seek support and draw strength from others around us. If you are feeling overwhelmed or in need of additional support right now, please know students can access free services from the Counseling Center (206-546-4594).
May we continue to come together as a campus community to provide support and care for one another.
With care,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

You may have read a Seattle Times article about a Shoreline student who was injured by a flash-bang device at the recent protests on Capitol Hill. We wanted to let you know the College is aware of the incident and the Care Team has reached out to provide support, resources, counseling, and options for the student to complete their studies.
