Are you thinking about dropping a class?

Dropping a class now will result in a “W” showing on your transcript for withdrawal, but it will not count in computing your GPA. If you choose to drop a class, you will be charged a $15 add/drop fee.

The last day to drop a class this quarter with a “W” is August 1, 2024. After this date, no “W” will be given.


Are You Receiving Financial Aid?
Please check with the Financial Aid office before dropping any classes as your aid may be impacted.   

Are You Receiving GI Bill Benefits?
Please check in with the Veteran & Military Student Services Office before dropping any classes as your benefits may be impacted.


To drop a class: 

  1. Email your instructor and ask for permission to drop. 
  2. Email the name & number of the course you’d like to drop, along with your instructor’s permission, to Enrollment Services at EnrollmentServices@Shoreline.edu and we will process the drop for you.  

Need help planning your courses? Contact the Advising Center to make an appointment with an academic advisor.

The Enrollment Services team would like to invite all students to stop by FOSS (the 5000 building) to have your photo taken and get your Shoreline ID card printed.

Getting your ID typically takes just a few minutes (depending on how busy we are) and then you’ll be all set if you are ever asked for verification that you are a student. It’s best to get this complete within your first month at Shoreline.

This also provides you identification for student discounts from some local businesses.

This summer, ID cards are available Monday – Wednesday from 9 – 11 or 2 – 4.

For any questions please stop by the FOSS Welcome Desk or email navigate@shoreline.edu.

Dear Students,

During the heat wave this week, please see the following tips and guidelines for staying safe:

Heat Safety Tips 

  • Make a conscious effort to ensure proper hydration and ventilation. 
    • Drink plenty of water and have a beverage with you at all times.
    • Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink.
    • Avoid drinks with caffeine and/or large amounts of sugar which can increase dehydration.
  • Take regular breaks as needed in cooler areas where possible.
    • If you’re on campus, you can visit Bldg. 4000, 6000, or 9000; all of which are equipped with air conditioning.

    • Campus security carries emergency cooling, water, and hydration supplies.

Welcome to Summer Quarter 2024!

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 Summer Quarter 2024 (July 1 – July 12) 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, July 15th, 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). Daily permits are also available for purchase at pay stations located at the East Gate, West Gate, in front of Bldg. 7000, in the parking lot west of Bldg. 1600, and on the walkway between Bldg. 2900 and 3000.

Campus Security
We have a uniformed Campus Security Officer on campus and on-duty 24/7/365. Our personnel are trained and equipped to respond to a vast variety of calls that include, but are not limited to, basic first aid, medical emergencies, security emergencies, and calls for assistance.

To reach our team during business hours, call 206-546-4633, or visit the Safety & Security Office in the Foss Building, Room 5102.

After hours or if the office does not answer, the on-duty Campus Security Officer can be reached at 206-235-5860

Courtesy Services
Our department provides vehicle lockout assistance, vehicle jumpstarts, security escorts, and more!

Lost & Found
The official campus Lost & Found is located in the Safety & Security Office, Room 5102. We hold onto items for 3-6 months before disposing of them.

Tips
Here are a few tips that can help you in having a wonderful experience here at Shoreline:

  • STOP! If you haven’t already, save the after-hours Campus Security number in your phone now! 206-235-5860.
  • Park in high traffic and well-lit areas.
  • Remove all valuables from your vehicle and remove items from view.
    • Even if a bag only has dirty gym clothes in it, a prowler may break in hoping it contains valuables.
  • If you observe a suspicious person or vehicle on campus, call security.
  • Always keep your phone and photo ID on your person in the event that you need to contact assistance.
  • If you witness or observe concerning behavior or posts on social media, report it to Campus Security by calling the office or after-hours number.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Do not report injuries, criminal activity, or request immediate assistance via email, as email is only monitored sporadically during office hours.

For questions, please come to the Safety & Security Office (5102), call us at: (206) 546-4633 or email: safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu

We hope you are doing well and looking forward to the Summer Term!

Just a reminder that Summer 2024 tuition is due on Thursday, June 20, 2024.

Please make sure to have your Summer Quarter balance paid by this deadline to prevent being dropped from your classes. You can pay tuition online or set up a payment plan through ctcLink, or in person at the Cashier’s Office (FOSS/5000 building).

If you are unable to see your tuition balance in ctcLink, please contact our Finance Department to have this resolved.

Drop for Non-payment
A drop for non-payment will take place on Friday, June 21st, 2024, for students who have not paid their balance, have not made any payments or payment arrangements, and/or do not have a hold to prevent their classes from being dropped. Please pay by June 20, 2024 @ 11:59pm to prevent being dropped on June 21.

Are you looking for financial assistance?

Financial Aid Applicants:
Students who are registered for summer quarter and have a valid FAFSA or WASFA processed by June 21, 2024, will have an F02 hold placed on their account so that they are not dropped for nonpayment.

Due to delays with ctcLink, please be advised:

  • Holds have been placed on students with a valid FAFSA processed by June 4.
  • Holds will continue to be placed on students with a valid FAFSA processed between June 5-June 21 as soon as our system allows.
  • Holds will be placed for students with a valid WASFA processed by June 21 as soon as our system allows.

If you have met these criteria and do not see a F02 hold on your account in ctcLink by June 21, please contact the Financial Aid office at financialaid@shoreline.edu.

Students who do not have a processed FAFSA or WASFA or are registered for summer by June 21, must plan to pay for their tuition through other alternative methods or set up a tuition payment plan. Financial aid can still be processed and offered retroactively for summer if you are eligible.
