Dear Campus Community,
Shoreline Police is investigating a fatal shooting that occurred near the Richmond Highlands Park, located several blocks away from our campus. Local law enforcement is canvasing the area, searching for 3 suspects believed to be armed and dangerous. Due to the close proximity to campus and out an abundance of caution, the campus will enter Suspended Operations at 10:45 am. On-campus classes are canceled for the remainder of the day and staff are directed to go leave campus. Our on-campus housing has been notified and Campus Security is increasing patrols and monitoring the situation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Gregory Cranson, Director of Safety & Security at gcranson@shoreline.edu

Hi Students,
Are you considering dropping a class? View this message on the web!
You can drop classes after the quarter starts, however, you will need to get instructor permission and you will be charged a $15 add/drop fee. Dropping will result in a “W” showing on your transcript for withdrawal, and it will not count in computing your GPA.
The last day to drop a course this quarter with a “W” is July 28, 2022. After this date, no “W” will be given.
Please check with Financial Aid before deciding to drop a course as your aid may be impacted.
If you are utilizing GI Bill benefits, please be sure to check in with the Veteran & Military Student Services Office before dropping any classes.
To withdraw from a class, follow these steps:
- Email your instructor from your email address on file requesting permission to withdraw.
- When you receive a reply granting permission, forward that response to enrollmentservices@shoreline.edu
- When you forward that message make sure you include:
- Your full name
- Your ctcLink ID number
- The name & item number of the course
- A statement asking to be withdrawn from that class
Need assistance? Contact the Advising Center to make an appointment with an academic advisor.

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.
Emergency Aid
Apply for the COVID-19 Emergency fund here. This emergency fund can assist you with tuition, books, fees, and other educational costs. Emergency aid will begin to disburse on July 5.
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.
