Message from the President
As we complete our first week of spring quarter, I’m grateful for your flexibility and grace as we all learn and work in this new online environment. The preparation this week will serve us well as we start instruction on Monday. We are here for students in myriad ways to support your academic, physical, and emotional well-being.
Emergency Aid Still Available for Spring
- If you are having any difficulty paying for tuition, fees, food, housing, technology, health care, childcare, or emergency expenses this quarter, please know the College has many funding options to help you at this time! This includes some new federal emergency COVID-19-related funding that we’ll be ready to disperse in the coming weeks.
- We encourage you to apply for emergency assistance and spring quarter scholarships now through the Shoreline Community College Foundation (scholarships@shoreline.edu, 206-533-6783).
Tutoring Services & Learning Support Centers
- One-on-one tutoring will be available as usual through Tutoring Services, but all sessions will take place online via Zoom. All 75 tutors are trained and ready to support students via Zoom and all paper tutoring forms have been digitized for online submission. Matching students with tutors will begin April 15.
- Drop-in assistance will be available online via Zoom with tutors for the following Learning Support Centers: Biology & Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science & Engineering. For questions or more information, please contact pttutors@shoreline.edu.
Preparing for Online Success
- As of today, 3,691 students have completed the Smarter Measure assessment of the “Getting Ready for Online Learning – Spring 2020” training. You can still take the Smarter Measure part of the training anytime throughout the quarter.
- If you have questions about online learning, our eLearning Services staff is ready to help you anytime.
I hope you take time this weekend to enjoy the spring weather being mindful of appropriate social distancing. I’m so thankful for your preparation to ensure you have a great start to building community through your learning.
With care and appreciation,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
