We wanted to let you know that the student ID card machine is about to shut down for the quarter. If you haven’t had a chance to get a student ID card yet, you still have one more chance this winter quarter.
Current students can get ID cards made February 10th-12th between 8:30am – 4:30pm. Just stop by the FOSS Welcome Desk (5000 Building) to pick up a number and get in line to take your photo!
Please come prepared with your ctcLink number and your Photo ID (such as a drivers license or passport).
FAQs:
After next week’s, when will the next ID card event be? The schedule is still being finalized, but it will always be a few weeks into each new quarter. The next event will be posted to the calendar on the website and on the ID Card page as soon as the dates are finalized.
What happens if I lose my ID card mid-quarter? You’ll need to pay a replacement fee to the cashier ($10) and show your receipt when you come to get a new one printed. If you aren’t in a rush, you can come on one of the next quarter’s ID card event days to get a new one. If you need a new card more urgently you can email navigate@shoreline.edu to set up an appointment.
If you have any questions, please email navigate@shoreline.edu.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Moving forward, we will only be offering scholarships annually. This application covers all scholarship funds for the 2025-2026 academic year. Prospective students may apply ahead of attending in the upcoming academic year. For more information, check our FAQ page.
Each year the Shoreline Community College Foundation awards over 200 scholarship awards to students attending Shoreline Community College. Scholarship awards typically range from $1,000 to $2,500.
We highly encourage all students to apply, including full and part time students, Running Start students, international students, and undocumented students.

Click the “Submit Application” button in the lower right corner (Note: The “Submit Application” button is disabled until the application is complete).

Note: An application for Shoreline Community College Foundation scholarships does not take the place of the Financial Aid application. All students, excluding international students, are encouraged to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or the WASFA (for HB 1079 students) application for the current year, in addition to the scholarship application. For information about financial aid, visit our Financial Aid webpage, or email financialaid@shoreline.edu.
Last night The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent a memo announcing a temporary pause on all federal grants and loans, effective today at 2:00pm PST/5:00pm EST.
We do not have a lot of details to share at this time, but we just received confirmation that Title IV student aid is exempt from the OMB memo pausing funding. Title IV includes the Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG grant, Federal Work Study and Federal student loans. All other federal aid outside of Title IV is still unclear. Washington State aid programs which include Washington College Grant, Washington Bridge Grant, College Bound Scholarship, Passport to Careers, Opportunity Grant and State Work Study are also not impacted at this time.
We are closely monitoring the situation to understand the full scope of its impact on our students, staff, and institutional operations.
Please know that we are already taking steps to address this issue. Our leadership team is in direct communication with state and federal partners, including the offices of Sen. Patty Murray and other advocates in Congress, to urge clarity and advocate for resuming funding as quickly as possible.
We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
We know this news may bring uncertainty, and we want you to know that we are here for you. Your education and well-being are at the heart of everything we do, and we will continue to update you as we receive more information.
Sincerely,
Ryan Aiello Vice President of Student Services Shoreline Community College
Recently, notice went out of a class action settlement in a case involving Shoreline Community College. Because some of you may have received this notification, we wanted to provide you with some information.
On March 20, 2023, Shoreline Community College experienced a cybersecurity incident that impacted campus functions. During the investigation of that incident, we confirmed that documents involved in the incident included personal information of our students, staff, and faculty. We notified those individuals in April 2023.
In January 2024, a class action lawsuit was filed against the College arising out of the March 2023 cybersecurity incident. Following mediation in June 2024, the parties agreed to settle the claims in the lawsuit. Some of you may have already received notice about this settlement. Notices are being sent via U.S. Mail and/or email to all class members.
Shoreline Community College is not in charge of the administration of this process. If you would like information about the settlement, please visit the settlement administration website at www.ShorelineSettlement.com.
All of us at Shoreline Community College take our responsibility to protect the privacy and security of the personal information entrusted to us seriously. We have taken and continue to take steps to enhance the security of our systems and safeguard the data we maintain.

The evening of January 8th, at approximately 10:00pm, Campus Security was notified of a vehicle prowl that occurred in the student parking west of Building 1300. A second person came forward this afternoon, January 9th, reporting that their vehicle had also been prowled. If anyone else had their vehicles prowled but has not yet reported it, please contact the on-duty Campus Security Officer at 206-235-5860 to generate a report.
There is currently nothing to indicate that this criminal activity will become a pattern, this notice is just to keep you informed. Campus Security has uniformed Campus Security Officers on campus 24-hours a day. To report suspicious activity, call 206-235-5860 (or call the Security Office during business hours at 206-546-4633). Listed below are some tips that can help to keep you and your vehicle safe on campus.
If you haven’t already, save the after-hours Campus Security number in your phone now: 206-235-5860.
Park in high traffic and well-lit areas.
Remove all valuables from your vehicle and remove items from view.
Even if a bag only has dirty gym clothes in it, a prowler may break in hoping it contains valuables.
If you observe a suspicious person or vehicle on campus, call security.
Always keep your phone and photo ID on your person in the event that you need to contact assistance.
If your vehicle is unused for more than 48 hours, check on it and move it to another parking space so that it does not appear abandoned or unattended.
Your safety and security is our paramount concern and we hope to provide a pleasant and comfortable experience here at Shoreline. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email us at safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu(monitored only during business hours).
As we work our way through the first week of the quarter, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.
Parking The first 2 weeks of winter quarter 2025 (Jan. 6 – Jan. 17) is the official grace period for students to purchase their quarterly permits. During this time, citations will not be issued for lack of parking permit in student areas (ADA violations, parking in multiple stalls, and other illegal and hazardous violations will still be cited). You may still find warnings on your vehicle instructing you to purchase a permit, but you will not be cited for lack of a permit.
Beginning Tuesday, January 21, permits are required to park on campus weekdays during the quarter, Monday-Friday from 6:00am-4:00pm, excluding weekends and holidays. Citations with fines are issued for ADA violations, PCC parking violations, Visitor Lot violations, and other illegal/hazardous (fire lane, blocking roadway, not parked in a parking stall, etc.).
Students can purchase parking permits in Student Finance (aka Cashiers). When purchasing your permit, please be ready to provide your vehicle make, model, and license plate number. Daily permits are also available for purchase at pay stations located as you enter the East Gate from Greenwood Avenue and on the main walkway between Bldg. 7000 (Housing) and Bldg. 1000.
Campus Security We have a uniformed Campus Security Officer on campus and on-duty 24/7/365. Our personnel are trained and equipped to respond to a vast variety of calls that include, but are not limited to, basic first aid, medical emergencies, security emergencies, and calls for assistance.
If you require medical assistance, DO NOT GO TO THE NURSING BUILDING. You can come to the Safety & Security Office in Room 5102 (first floor of FOSS) or call campus security and an officer will come to you.
