Student Accounts

Shoreline students have two accounts used to access the College's online services: a ctcLink account and a Shoreline Network account. Every new student will receive a Welcome Email when they are accepted into Shoreline Community College – it is typically sent the next day after the application is processed. The email will be sent to whatever personal email account you used when applying and will contain your ctcLink ID number, your Residency Status, your Program of Study, and instructions on how to activate your ctcLink ID account. Please be aware that the Welcome Email may sometimes go to spam/junk, so it's important to also check there.

ctcLink Account

Your 9-digit ctcLink ID number and password allow you to access ctcLink and Canvas. ctcLink is Shoreline's online student portal where you can view the class schedule, register for classes, pay tuition, accept financial aid offers, update preferred communications, view unofficial transcripts, and more!

Access your ctcLink account

Your ctcLink ID number is included in the Welcome Email you receive once accepted to Shoreline Community College. Follow the account activation instructions and put in your ctcLink ID when prompted.

When you first activate your new ctcLink account, you’ll log in as a first time user with your former Student ID Number (SID). You will immediately see a pop-up window message showing your new ctcLink ID. Be sure to write down, or take a photo/screenshot of this number and keep it in a safe place. You will need this for the next step of logging into the ctcLink portal. You will NOT be able to log in again with your SID. If you forget to write down your ctcLink ID, please contact Enrollment Services:

If you already have a ctcLink ID from another college, you can log in with those credentials.
