News & Updates sent October 11, 2021
Colleagues,
We have successfully launched ctcLink! Our project team spent Sunday completing the final validation of our data and we are now live. What an amazing accomplishment! This is a major step for Skagit Valley College and we are excited to start learning and mastering this new system.
As noted in earlier updates, the next few weeks will be extremely busy. This week, beginning Oct. 12, we need employees to focus on activating their ctcLink accounts and inputting their time and leave for payroll. We’ve developed a staggered approach for activating ctcLink user accounts. This is to avoid overwhelming our new system and to allow IT staff to focus on assisting specific groups with any technical issues that arise.
DATES TO ACTIVATE CTCLINK ACCOUNTS
Faculty and staff members are invited to activate their ctcLink accounts beginning October 12 and after.
Note: those who activated accounts in test environments prior to ctcLink go-live must activate again now. Your ctcLink ID (EMPLID) will be the same as you used in the test environment.
- Step-by-step instructions are available on the Employee Self-Service Tutorials and Help Resources page. ctcLink icons have been added to the staff portal.
- Classified, hourly, and student employees: make sure you’ve activated your account, and have a plan for submitting timesheets by Friday, Oct. 15.
- Managers: check in with your classified, hourly, and student employees regarding account activation and timesheets.
Students are invited to activate their ctcLink accounts beginning Monday, October 25, and that entire week.
- Step-by-step instructions will be available on the ctcLink Resources for Students page on Oct. 25.
Help is Available
If you encounter technical problems while trying to activate your account, please contact the IT Helpdesk at IT.HelpDesk@skagit.edu or by phone: 360-416-7766.
We wish you all a smooth transition to our new ctcLink system and the best as we work together to support each other and serve our students.
