Dear College Community,

Skagit Valley College will be live on ctcLink in three months! The ctcLink team is working hard to make our transition to ctcLink a very successful one.

Listed below are a few highlights of recent work:

Pillar leads and subject matter experts have been working fervently to review data and confirm accurate conversion of data to ctcLink PeopleSoft.
Subject matter experts have been completing Canvas training courses in preparation for User Acceptance Testing that will begin later this month.
Expanded information, including help resources and reference guides, will be available on a new SVC ctcLink website which will be launched in August.
The ctcLink Project Team and Information Technology staff are collaborating with colleges that are already on ctcLink. A comprehensive communication and training plan is in development. Look out for more information this September.

The transition to ctcLink will affect every area of the College. To help support these efforts, SVC has posted temporary positions for additional support as we prepare for go‐live, stabilization, and later, optimization so we can refine and best utilize all the new features and functionality. This is in line with other colleges in our deployment group and others already live on ctcLink in the community and technical college system. We anticipate these staff will begin in mid‐July or early August, and their first tasks will include helping us to prepare for testing at the end of July, along with helping to setup ctcLink security.

Thank you to all of you who are spending your summer serving students and getting us ready for a successful go‐live on ctcLink!
