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.
Sincerely,
Financial Aid Office

A campus shuttle will also be available to pick up guests at the visitor lot (near the front of campus), and outside the 1400 building, theater, and 2900 building, where riders will be dropped off.

Dear Shoreline Community,
As we heal and embrace lessons learned from the pandemic, Shoreline is committed to centering diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. To learn how we can continue to successfully serve our campus community and improve efforts in any areas of deficit, we are interested in understanding your thoughts on the institution’s continuing efforts to provide equal opportunities and a welcoming environment to students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds.
We know how busy you are at this time of the quarter! All students who take the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of ten $25 Tango gift cards.
To collect and analyze this data in a responsible and anonymous manner, Shoreline has partnered with Hanover Research, a market research firm based in Arlington, VA, to conduct a campus climate survey. On Monday, you will receive an email from Hanover Research (surveys@qemailserver.com) with a link to complete the survey. This link is unique to you and should not be shared with others.
All information you provide will be confidentially maintained by Hanover Research and will only be reported to Shoreline in an anonymized form (i.e., your name and identifying information such as race and gender will not be shared with Shoreline or tied to your responses).

Dear Students,
This year’s Commencement ceremonies will be held on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.
HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT NEXT STEPS if you are planning to graduate on June 18th:
- Sign up for Commencement. Today (May 16th) is the deadline to sign up to participate in this year’s Commencement ceremonies. To register, go here.
- Purchase your cap and gown. Shoreline Community College has partnered with Jostens to provide caps and gowns for our graduates. Orders must be submitted by Thursday, May 26th in order to receive your regalia in time for the ceremony. A limited amount of regalia is available to borrow for students who are concerned about the financial burden of purchasing it; for availability, e-mail commencement@shoreline.edu.
- Confirm which ceremony you should participate in. Check the Commencement website to confirm which ceremony you are assigned to based on your degree type.
- Watch the rehearsal video. Be sure to watch this short video so you know what to expect and are prepared to participate in the ceremony.
- Arrive at Commencement 75 minutes before the ceremony starts. That is 8:45am for the morning ceremony and 12:45pm for the afternoon ceremony. Check in at the lower level of the Gymnasium (Building 3000) to line up for the procession. Purses, backpacks, and other personal items should be left with family/friends, as there will be no secure place to leave them in the gym. Water will be provided for graduates.
More information and updates can also be found on the Commencement webpage.
We look forward to watching you cross the stage as you reach this special milestone! Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
