Dear Students,
Welcome to Summer Quarter at Shoreline Community College! Please review the important information below to help you get started and be successful this quarter.
Summer Quarter Drop for Non-payment
A drop for non-payment (dropping classes if you have not made any payments) will take place Wednesday, July 6 for students who owe more than $100, have not made any payments, and do not have a hold to prevent their classes from being dropped. If you are at risk of your classes being dropped for non-payment, you will receive an email notifying you.
Please pay your Summer Quarter balance by July 5 to prevent being dropped from your classes. You can pay tuition online 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 follow the steps in this article or join our Zoom support room, which is open M-Th 9-5, F 9-4.
Summer Quarter Financial Aid
- If you have applied for Summer federal/state financial aid or COVID-19 Emergency Grant funding, your classes will not be dropped for non-payment while the Financial Aid Office is determining your financial aid eligibility.
- Due to the conversion to ctcLink, financial aid processing and our response time will be delayed.
- Disbursement of financial aid funds will begin in mid-July and every week thereafter.
- Disbursement of Emergency aid fund will begin on July 5 and every week thereafter.
- Beginning Summer Quarter, all financial aid information is viewable in the ctcLink Student Homepage. See how to check your Financial Aid information here.

Check out other funding options here.
Waitlists
If you have joined any waitlists for classes, please log into ctcLink to check if you have been enrolled in new courses this week.

Thank you for choosing us for your educational journey! As you are aware, SCC which includes the Financial Aid Office (FAO) has converted to a new state-wide technology system. Summer Quarter is the first quarter the FAO will fully process in the new system. As a result, determining financial aid eligibility for Summer Quarter students will be delayed.
Important Information for Summer Quarter
- Students’ classes will be placed on hold to prevent them from being dropped for non-payment while the FAO review student’s file to determine financial aid eligibility
- Plan accordingly to purchase books and supplies for your classes
- Apply for the COVID-19 Emergency fund at shoreline.edu/apply-and-aid/funding-and-aid/emergency-funds.aspx
- Check out other funding options at https://www.shoreline.edu/apply-and-aid/funding-and-aid/
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we transition to the new state-wide technology system.
