Join the GAC on Thurs., Jan. 14 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB 9208 for Dean Amy Kinsel’s talk, Immigration & Refugees: We’ve seen this Newsreel Before.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric has filled the airwaves during the early months of the 2016 presidential race, especially since Syrian refugees began pouring into Europe and terrorist attacks shook Paris, Beirut, and other places. But this rhetoric is not new. Despite its reputation for welcoming the “huddled masses” to our shores, U.S. immigration and refugee policies have served to shut doors to tens of thousands of desperate “tempest-tossed” people seeking safe haven from religious, political, and military strife.
In this talk, Dean Amy J. Kinsel shares some of the reasons the U.S. has shut the door to immigrants and refugees in the past and compares past American immigration and refugee policies to the situation today.

THE FREE ELWHA exhibit is on now through Feb. 5
Join us for an Artists’ Reception for this exhibit on Thurs., Jan. 14 – 5-7 p.m.
Campus Art Gallery (1000 bldg. lobby)
Shoreline faculty, Lauren Greathouse and Claire Putney, present an exhibition of photographic works that focus on the history, evolution and recovery of the Elwha River, located on the Olympic Peninsula. This series of images is not merely about a free river, but part of a larger investigation of the human desire to domesticate the landscape and control natural resources in ways that benefit human existence. This exhibition references the history of the dams as well as the current reclamation of wildlife habitats and river ecosystems. While the removal of these dams deeply engages social, cultural and political systems, the visual power of the physical landscape documented by Greathouse and Putney speaks to the intimate connection between its human and natural history.

Westbound I-90 down to one lane this weekend
Beginning at 11 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8, westbound I-90 will be down to one lane near Bellevue Way then detoured to the express lanes until 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11. Contractor crews continue their work to upgrade operations and safety systems in the eastbound Mount Baker and Mercer Island tunnels. Most of the work during these weekends is taking place inside the tunnels and out of the view of drivers.
Eastbound SR 18 full closure near Green River Bridge this weekend
Good news and bad news on SR 18! First, the good: Eastbound delays between Auburn and Covington should come to an end shortly! The right lane after the Green River (Neeley) Bridge has been closed since Dec. 8, when heavy rain severely damaged the roadway. Since then, contractor crews have been stabilizing the hillside and installing drains ahead of this weekend’s pavement repairs. And here’s the bad: This repair work requires a full closure of eastbound SR 18 at Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road beginning at 11 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8. If all goes well, both lanes will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11.
SR 410 White River Bridge inspection before Sunday’s Seahawks game
Don’t want to miss the beginning of the Seahawks’ wildcard matchup against the Vikings? Well, plan ahead and leave early if you need to cross the SR 410 White River Bridge to get to the television you’ll be watching the game on. A single lane across the bridge will be closed from 7 to 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 10, for bridge inspection work. Flaggers will alternate traffic through the open lane.
New westbound SR 520 off-ramp to East Lake Washington Boulevard now open
Since September, SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program crews working on the West Approach Bridge North (WABN) project have been hard at work constructing a new westbound SR 520 off-ramp at 24th Avenue East in Montlake. The new off-ramp opened Jan. 6; here’s what to expect.
Don’t panic if you receive a Notice of Civil Penalty for unpaid toll bills.
It’s been three months since the first toll bills were mailed for the I-405 express toll lanes. If you still have a toll bill sitting in your to-do pile, please be sure to make your payment before it becomes a civil penalty of $40 per toll trip. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you, but if it does, here are some tips to reduce your bill:
- Know you have an unpaid toll? Don’t wait to receive a late fee, pay your bill at MyGoodToGo.com, by mail, or over the phone.
- Save money with a Good To Go! Open a Good To Go! account to pay a lower toll rate and avoid future bills in the mail. Call us to open an account, and be sure to ask the agent to add unpaid tolls to your account via Pay By Plate. You can save up to $1.75 per toll.
- Good news if you receive a late fee or civil penalty. This past summer we introduced a new customer service policy offering first-time forgiveness of penalties. If this is your first time receiving a civil penalty for unpaid tolls you can request a one-time waiver of all unpaid late fees and penalties as long as you pay the original tolls.
You can read more advice for dealing with civil penalties on the WSDOT Blog.

ORCA cards are on sale and available for purchase now through Feb. 17. ORCA cards, the regional transit pass, are available to most students at Shoreline Community College. You can purchase yours by heading to the Cashier’s Office in the second floor of the 5000 building (FOSS). Remember to bring payment, photo ID and proof of registration.
The price of the prepaid cards are subsidized through a program funded by a student fee called the Sustainable Commuting Options Fee (SCOF). The program is intended by student government to help make the program easy to use and available to most students possible.
Shoreline’s ORCA card program is simple:
- For $125, a registered student can buy a $200 ORCA ePurse card.
- The student receives an ORCA card that is immediately usable for as long as there is still money on it.
- The $75 difference is covered by a subsidy funded by the SCOF fee.
An ORCA card is the equivalent of having cash that can be used on all Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro Transit, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit and Washington State Ferries.
For more information on how to get your pass and the guidelines surrounding its use, click here.

Just a quick reminder of the process for students to add/drop classes after the start of the quarter:
Week 1:
- Students are able to register themselves for a class if there are open seats and no waiting list.
- Online registration is open through the last day of the first week of the quarter (add/drop online).
- Students on the waiting list are automatically registered as seats become available, through the third day of the quarter.
- Registering into full and/or waitlisted classes requires an overload slip, emailed permission from the instructor with approval to OVERLOAD, or the signature on a Schedule Change Form, stating their approval to OVERLOAD the class.
- Students are not overloaded into full and/or waitlisted classes with the instructor’s signature alone. It’s important that we know the instructor has agreed to overload the class (possibly ahead of others on the waiting list).
Week 2:
- Instructor’s permission required to add a class, with an overload slip, emailed permission to add, or signature on a Schedule Change Form.
- Online registration and the waiting list are no longer available.
- Students cannot register without instructor’s signature.
- No signature is required to drop a class.
Week 3 & 4:
- Permission of both the instructor and the division dean required to register, with an overload slip, emailed permission to add, or signature on a Schedule Change Form.
- Along with permission to add the class, the instructor must state whether or not student has been attending from the first day/week. This is very important — whether or not the student has been attending from the start of the quarter has an impact on our quarterly enrollment.
- Instructor signature or emailed permission is required to withdraw from a class from the first day of the third week through the first day of the seventh week (W period).
After the W period, withdrawal is no longer done through the registration process. Students must meet with their instructor to discuss a late withdrawal grade of V, Z, NC, or I (entered directly on the grade roster in Instructor Briefcase).
Note: The number of days in each “week” is adjusted for the shorter Summer quarter. Refer to the Important Dates calendar for Summer dates.
