Message from the President
Thank you for all you are doing to keep yourself, your family, and our community safe and healthy. I know you have had to be very patient and flexible as you faced an inordinate amount of change in such a short time this quarter. Now as we begin to turn our attention to a new quarter — one that will yet again call for us to remain adaptable — I want you to know how grateful I am to each of you for your resilience and persistence in the face of uncertainty.
Here are a few updates to help you as you move into the weekend and week ahead.
How are instructors handling winter quarter grading for students whose academic performance was affected by COVID-19?
As instructors finalize grades for winter quarter, we want you to know that we understand this has been a complicated term for many of you. We are here to support you. I invite you to contact your instructor if you have any questions about grading or options for completing winter courses.
Will any important academic dates be adjusted in spring quarter?
Yes, all academic dates have been extended by one week to provide additional flexibility for students this quarter. The online Academic Calendar and the “Important Dates” pdf have been updated to reflect these revisions.
Is Shoreline doing anything to help address the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) in our state’s health care system?
This week, our amazing faculty and staff collected over 30,000 pieces of PPE to donate to healthcare workers who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. Thank you to all who helped rally resources from our campus at this time of great need! Read more about it on our news blog.
What should I do if I feel ill or suspect I’ve been exposed to the virus?
If you are experiencing symptoms, please call your health provider or 911. Students and employees are asked to complete the College’s exposure report form so we can provide guidance about what to do next.
I hope you have a good weekend; it is well deserved.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
