C2N IS HERE!!!
C2N = COMMON COURSE NUMBERING

• What is Common Course Numbering?
This is a state-wide project to develop common course names, numbers and titles for the same courses within the Community and Technical College system.

• Why is SCC changing to Common Course Numbering?
To help students! The changes should help you, the student, to know that a course you have taken at one Washington Community or Technical College is the same at another Washington college, and to know that it will transfer easily. Courses that are not listed as “common” will still transfer under the Direct Transfer Agreement, as in the past.

• When will the change take place?
Shoreline Community College will be switching to the new course names, numbers and titles beginning Summer Quarter 2008.

• How will I know that a course is common?
Common courses will have an ampersand (&) in the department name, e.g. ACCT& 201. Please note that many of our course names and numbers did not fit the new Common Course Numbering scheme, so courses without the “&” may have been changed as well (e.g., ACCTG 171 has been changed to ACCT 190.)

• Where can I find a list of old and new course names?
SCC has developed a quick link on the online schedule to assist you. From the main SCC website: http://www.shoreline.edu/, go to Quick Links: Classes-Schedule; click on Common Course Numbering Changes and follow the directions. Or you can type in the following address to the website: www.shoreline.edu/commoncourse.

• Who do I go to if I have questions about Common Course Numbering?
The Registrar’s Office, 206-546-4613 or the Office of Recruitment & Enrollment Services, 206-546-4581

Can't find the class you're looking for?
Many courses have been renumbered. Please look at Common Course Numbering Changes to see if your class is now listed under another number.

Additional Note:

Speech Communication classes are now called Communication StudiesCommunication Studies classes that deal with digital filmmaking are now dual listed under the heading Film/Video. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Humanities Division.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES TRANSITION
The duties of the Vice President for Administrative Services will continue to be performed as the position transfers from Acting VP Stuart Trippel, who has served since September 2006, to incoming VP Daryl Campbell, who takes office July 1.

"Daryl and I will be working together to ensure a smooth and coordinated transition," Stuart said. He added that appropriate paperwork and other matters needing attention should continue to be routed to Sharon Wines, Confidential Assistant/Secretary to the Vice President for Administrative Services, exactly as in the past.

"Although I will be taking some vacation, I will be on campus regularly to direct the business of the office and provide leadership to the Administrative Services directors and staff between now and June 30. This includes working on the fiscal year 2008-09 budget, design of the Professional Automotive Training Center expansion, and closeout of the PUB project. I’ll also be preparing the office to make Daryl’s arrival as seamless as possible."

Questions may be directed to Stuart on extension 4532, or Sharon on extension 7859.

HAVE YOU PUBLISHED ANY URLS?
TSS is renaming pages on the site to improve our search rankings, to make it easier for students to find us, and to prepare the site for redesign:

bullet

Affected pages include those on the "core site," including most pages that adhere to the main site look, e.g. green bar on the left

bullet

We will contact divisions before updating division pages, and will not be changing faculty pages

bullet

Pages are being renamed from non-explanatory to explanatory names, e.g. from Classes01.htm to CreditClasses.aspx

bullet

Pages are being given the .aspx extension, making them scriptable

bullet

Pages are being re-titled, so that if the current title is "Shoreline Community College," the new title will be something specific such as "Current Credit Classes."

So we need to know if you have published any hyperlinks in printed documents or elsewhere. If your hyperlink looks like: http://www.shoreline.edu/ce then there is no problem; the link will work before and after our changes.

But if it includes the filename as in: http://www.shoreline.edu/ce/default.htm then we need to know so we can guarantee that the link will continue to work after our modifications. The first link format is preferred when publishing both to allow us to make changes as we need to and because it’s a web standard.

Please contact Gavin Smith at 206-546-4792 or gavinsmith@shoreline.edu with any questions.

SCC BASEBALL TEAM GETS $3,000 DONATION
The Shoreline Community College baseball program received a $3,000 donation from Fred Meyer as part of a state Lottery winning-ticket bonus program.

"We’re very excited to receive this grant," said SCC baseball coach Steve Seki, who applied for the grant this past fall. The money helped purchase a portable "Big Bubba Batting Cage" that the team uses at their home field at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle. "It’s just like the cage you see being used at Mariners games," Seki said. The cage, which rolls into position, also breaks down for easy storage.

The money was part of a $90,000 bonus from the Washington Lottery system to the Shoreline Fred Meyer store, where a winning $9 million ticket was sold in 2007 to a Shoreline man. Employees of the store selected 11 local organizations that support children and families to receive donations.

SHORELINE SOFTBALL QUALIFIES FOR NWAACC CHAMPIONSHIP
