What’s it all about?
Bellevue College transitioned to a new PeopleSoft software system called ctcLink, which replaced and consolidated a decades-old legacy system with a single system of online functions. ctcLink gives students, faculty, and staff “anytime, anywhere” access to a modern way of doing college business.
The transition to ctcLink is a major statewide project designed to upgrade the information systems at all 34 Washington community and technical colleges. The project is administered by the Washington State Board of Technical and Community Colleges (SBCTC).
