As you make your way through fall quarter, I just wanted to check in and remind you about the many support services that are available to you.

If you’re feeling stressed, struggling with classwork, facing financial difficulties, or just looking for ways to stay connected, please take a look at the links I’ve included below.

As I mentioned in the video, winter quarter class registration has started. I encourage you to sign up early to make sure you get the classes you want.

Wishing you all the best in the second half of the quarter!

Please join Veteran & Military Student Services in celebrating Veterans Day by adding to our Veterans Appreciation Wall!

Bring a photo (copies are preferred, but we can also make them as needed) or just write something to honor a Veteran in your life, whether they are a friend, a student, a family member, or even yourself.

The Wall will be up in front of the Veterans Resource Center (FOSS 5225A) through the end of November.

Photos can be dropped off at the VRC or by email to militaryservices@shoreline.edu.

 Let’s fill the wall and show our student veterans we appreciate their service! Please reach out to VMSS at militaryservices@shoreline.edu if you have any questions.

The wireless network across campus in all buildings has been restored through our back-up line. The wired network still remains unstable at this time due to an external issue. We are waiting for more information from our internet provider.

Please continue all in-person operations and classes as per usual.

At 6:40 a.m. today (9/25), we experienced some instability with our campus network.

Currently, the wired network remains unstable. The wireless network is operational in specific areas, and our team is working to reroute all services through the wireless network within the next few hours should wired issues persist.

All classes are proceeding as scheduled and all campus services remain operational and open for in-person business.

We will provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
