Improved Class Schedule and College Website Launching this Week

Shoreline Community College is about to launch a refreshed design of its website, www.shoreline.edu. As early as Tuesday, you could see a brand new site. From the homepage, at the very top, will be a link to the current students page and the new class schedule.

For current students, the greatest impact may come from the class schedule. It will be easier to use and provide new features. Course listings will have direct links to an instructor’s contact information and office location via Google maps.

The new look will be geared towards helping prospective students easily find the educational pathway that fits their aspirations. Additionally, the site will automatically transform itself to fit whatever device a visitor uses to access it.

The new homepage will feature three main sections highlighting 1.) educational pathways, 2.) student support services and 3.) opportunities for engagement between the college and local community. Each section can expand to reveal related navigation options, a relevant news story and buttons that allow communication with the college.

Variations of the new design were shown to prospective students from several area high schools. Their feedback played a key role in determining the final design. The company that provided the design also visited campus to hold “town hall” events and focus group meetings to further inform development.

“We’re just so excited to launch the new website,” said Mary Bruggeman, Vice President of Advancement and Executive Director of the SCC Foundation. “We’re eager to provide a tool that improves our service to students and makes it easier for the community to engage with the college.”

Shoreline launches new Honors Program for Fall 2016

Shoreline Community College is launching a new program that will support eligible students to earn an associate degree with honors and transfer to a top four-year university to complete their bachelor’s degree—saving a significant amount on the cost of their overall tuition for a bachelor’s degree. The new program, American Honors, will enhance the existing Honors program offered at Shoreline.

“The American Honors program is a tremendous opportunity for students to get even more out of their Shoreline experience,” says Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D., President of Shoreline Community College. “It’s an ideal avenue – and an extraordinary academic opportunity – for those who are looking to continue their education beyond community college.”

By starting local, American Honors program graduates report saving up to 40% on the total cost of their bachelor’s degree. Students in the American Honors program prepare for junior- and senior-level coursework in small, rigorous Honors classes. For two years, Honors students develop leadership and academic skills in a close-knit community with the support of one-on-one advising.

Students are able to apply for transfer to any four-year college or university, or take advantage of transfer agreements with a network of top colleges and universities in the exclusive American Honors National Transfer Network. Four-year schools in the growing American Honors Network include universities in Washington such as Gonzaga University, University of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran University, and Whitworth University.

“We’re so excited for Shoreline Community College to offer American Honors,” says Phil Bronner, CEO and Co-Founder of Quad Learning, the education service provider that collaborates with select community colleges to offer the American Honors program. “Colleges with an American Honors program find incredible student success. This decision will increase two-year completion rates and transfer success for students, which really demonstrates the commitment Shoreline has to their mission and their students.”

American Honors program graduates have been accepted to schools within and beyond the American Honors network including Stanford University, University of Washington, Vanderbilt University, Seattle University, University of Southern California, and Western Washington University, and many have received transfer scholarships to help towards the cost of tuition for their transfer schools.

Shoreline Community College joins 9 other community colleges across the US to offer the American Honors program, including Community Colleges of Spokane and Pierce College in Washington. Shoreline Community College will offer the program in Fall 2016. Students interested in applying should email admissions@americanhonors.org with questions. The selection process is holistic and examines candidates’ leadership abilities, extracurricular activities, academic achievements, standardized test scores, and commitment to the ideals of the program.
