Summer instruction will begin on Monday, June 28, 2021. Given our region’s downward trend in COVID-19 infection rates and the success of King County vaccination efforts, the College is increasing its hybrid on-campus course offerings this summer.
As we gradually return to an in-person modality, safety continues to be our top priority. Students, faculty and staff should all be aware of the current COVID-19 protocols. Read the FAQs below for a reminder about the guidelines for on-campus presence.
How do I access campus?
If you are a student or visitor, you must submit a Campus Access formprior to arriving on campus. A new attestation is required each day. Upon arrival each day, students and visitors will be required to go to the check-in station in Room 2910.
What if I need to pick up or return materials to campus?
If you are only picking up or dropping off materials from your vehicle and not accessing any buildings or spaces on campus, you should use Shoreline’s Curbside Pickup/Drop-Off program, located in Room 2905. To access this service:
Mask wearing, social distancing, and cleaning practices continue for all on-campus activities. Hybrid class sizes have been adjusted to ensure appropriate social distancing and safety protocols. The College is following Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) guidelines regarding appropriate building air filtration.
Students must do the following when coming to campus:
Wear a mask at all times while indoors on campus, regardless of vaccination status.
Follow any specific class safety practices communicated at the start of the quarter.
Do I need to be vaccinated?*
COVID-19 vaccinations are not currently required at Shoreline, but state higher education guidance could change in the future. The College strongly recommends all students and employees get a vaccine. Find a vaccine location near you.
*Certain programs require students and faculty to be vaccinated. Students in these programs will have already been contacted.
What student services are on campus?
All student services will continue to operate remotely throughout summer quarter. As we plan for a gradual return to on-campus services in the fall, we will do all that we can to ensure a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff.
Certain areas in the Pagoda Union Building (PUB) will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Mask wearing will be required except while eating and social distancing will be required. Areas open to students include:
Second floor bathrooms (main floor)
Food area (main floor)
Second floor lobby (main floor)
The first and third floors of the PUB will remain closed.
Please reference the College’s COVID-19 web page for more detailed information about the College’s guidelines.
Thank you for your cooperation with the guidelines listed above. I am confident that by working together, our campus will continue to be a safe and productive environment for all.
Sincerely,
Phillip J. King
Vice President for Student Learning, Equity & Success
All in-person classes will meet online on Monday, June 28 due to excessive heat conditions. Online classes and remote services will continue. The air-conditioned PUB (Building 9000) will be open 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. for any on-campus residents or employees. For additional updates, please visit www.shoreline.edu.
Please see the following tips and guidelines for staying safe during the heat wave:
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.
Cover/close windows that receive morning and afternoon light to reduce heat entering your home.
The COVID Check-In Station has been moved from the Automotive Showroom to the lower level of Building 2900 in Room 2909. This move was necessitated by the 2500 building (Manufacturing program) needing space for classes.
The new location for the Check-In Station is next to the Curbside pick-up/drop-off area. There is signage directing students from the main gate to the 2900 building.
This location will be staffed starting Monday June 28, the first day of Summer Quarter. It will be open Monday-Thursday 6:45 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Thank you,

We are pleased to share that the new Health Sciences & Advanced Manufacturing Classroom Complex (HSAMCC) will break ground in just a few weeks! This project is a culmination of years of planning and extensive stakeholder involvement and will be a significant enhancement to our campus. As we enter the construction period for the next two years, here is some preliminary information for you to know.
What Is the HSAMCC?
A new three-story, 50,700 square-foot HSAMCC building will replace five existing buildings (2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800) and will be located on the footprint of the current 2500 Building. Opening in summer 2023, it will provide space for Chemistry, Biology, Medical Lab Technology, Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing, and Biomanufacturing. It will include an open space that preserves existing significant trees and landscape features and provides outdoor student gathering areas. This building will serve a large student population with state-of-the-industry, multipurpose instructional space (including collaboration and study spaces, laboratories, and faculty offices) and create a new core area of campus that will unite the South end of campus with the North.
When Will Construction Take Place?
July 2021 – Construction fencing and mobilization begins at North end of campus
July & August 2021 – Demolition Phase One (Buildings 2500, part of 2400, greenhouse, pond)
Summer 2021 – Groundbreaking event
August 2021 – March 2023 – Active construction
Summer 2022 – Demolition of a portion of Greenwood Parking Lot for an infiltration pond
Spring 2023 – Building move in
Spring & Summer 2023 – Demolition Phase Two (Buildings 2600, 2700, 2800, rest of 2400)
Summer/Fall 2023 – Project completion
Yellow highlights represent the areas that will be fenced off and not accessible
Will Campus Access or Parking Be Affected by the Construction?
A sizable portion of the parking lot North of Building 2500 will be fenced off for the duration of the project and will not be available for general use, however, parking options throughout the rest of the campus will remain unaffected.
The track will be used as parking for Automotive instructional vehicles and will not be accessible.
Walking routes through campus will remain open and access to the Shoreview Off-Leash Dog Park next to campus will continue to be available.
Construction vehicles will access the campus via Aurora Avenue and N. 160th Street and be routed to enter campus at the West gate, traveling to the construction site at the North end of campus, and exiting on the East side of campus at Greenwood Avenue.
Construction work hours will be 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cameras will be installed for security.
Construction vehicle route through campus
This is an exciting time of growth on our campus, and we appreciate your patience and flexibility as we enter this period of construction. We will continue to share regular updates with the campus community and our local neighbors as construction progresses.
As the current academic year nears an end and we marked the one-year anniversary of our shift to remote learning and operations due to COVID-19, I want to share what the next six months will look like on our campus.
The College remains under the guidance of the Higher Education Reopening plan, which has been in place since spring 2020 (and is separate from the Healthy Washington planother organizations follow). The Governor may update the Higher Education plan with new guidance for the 2021-22 academic year, but until then, Shoreline continues to adhere to the same guidance we have been following all year.
Summer Campus Status
As previously announced, the College is continuing predominantly remote learning and operations through summer quarter (through August 24, 2021), with some additional hybrid classes added to allow for some additional in-person learning opportunities.
FallCampus Status
Based on current public health data and results from our campus surveys, up to 25% of Shoreline’sfall quarter classeswillhaveanin-personcomponent. The rest of our classes will remain online, as will most of our operations (through December 16, 2021). We may increase the availability of some on-campus support services, and we will share these updates as they become available. Curbside pickup/drop-off service will remain available.
Three course formats will be offered in fall to better meet students’ learning goals:
Online –Fully online class with no scheduled meeting date/time
Live Online – Fully online class with scheduled virtual meeting dates/times
Hybrid – A combination of traditional in-person and online instruction
On-Campus Safety Procedures
Mask wearing, social distancing, and cleaning practices continue for all on-campus activities. Hybrid class sizes have been adjusted to ensure appropriate social distancing and safety protocols. The College is following Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) guidelines regarding appropriate building air filtration.
Students must do the following when coming to campus:
Wear a mask at all times on campus, regardless of vaccination status
Fill out a Campus Access Form to check in and out of campus each day they are on campus
Stay home if they are feeling sick
Follow any specific class safety practices communicated at the start of the quarter
Employees coming to campus must continue to follow the practices described on the COVID-19 faculty/staff page.
Vaccination Requirements
COVID-19 vaccinations are not currently required at Shoreline, but it is possible state higher education guidance could change in the future. The College strongly recommends all students and employees get a vaccine if they have not already. Find a vaccine location near you.
While there is so much hope on the horizon, we know caution and safety is still paramount when it comes to successfully preparing for the gradual reopening of the College campus. As we remain vigilant, we also look forward to welcoming more students and employees on our beautiful campus this fall.
Missing that fresh campus air? Ready to step away from your laptop for more hands-on learning?Take a hybrid summer class at Shoreline!
More than 20 classes – such as Biology, Drama, Math, Music, and PE – will meet on campus in safe, distanced classrooms (masks required) once or twice a week, with assignments completed online.
Hybrid courses offer the convenience of online learning with the satisfaction of some in-person instruction.
Go hybrid this summer and get the best of both worlds! Classes start June 28.
