*** NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS ***

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.

What’s a closet swap?
You bring in your gently used clothing items. Students and staff then see if they might use any of these items. Keep in mind that you don’t have to bring anything in order to participate, but every little bit helps! At the end of the event, remaining items are donated to shelters for distribution.

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

SCC is currently in fourth place in the NWAACC Northern Region one half game behind Everett Community College for third place in the division.
