New Secure MySVC tools coming in early October!

Hello Student,

New and improved student self-service tools will be available Oct. 25!

In the new ctcLink system, College services such as registering for classes and updating your student information will be more user-friendly.

Please be aware that you will not be able to view updates to your student record until Oct. 25 when ctcLink “goes live” for students. You will still have full access to your coursework through Canvas and classes will not be disrupted during the transition.

FAQs for Students:

Will the ctcLink ID replace my SID?
Yes, the ctcLink ID will replace your SID number.

How do I get my ctcLink ID number?
You can log in to your ctcLink account on October 25. A welcome email will come to your SVC email account to activate your new ctcLink account. You will need to activate your ctcLink account to register for Winter Quarter 2022.

What if I already have a ctcLink ID number from another college?
If you have already received a ctcLink ID (called an EMPLID in the system) from another college in the Washington community and technical college system, you do not need to activate your account or receive a new number. The ctcLink ID number you already have is what you will use at SVC.

ctcLink ID vs. EMPLID?
You may see EMPLID referenced in the system. Please note that a ctcLink ID and an EMPLID are the same thing.
