Pillar Update: HCM – Vol. 1 – Aug. 2, 2021

As you’ve heard by now, Bellevue College (BC) is transitioning to a new software system called ctcLink. ctcLink is the implementation of a centralized system of online functions that have been designed to give students, faculty, and staff “anytime, anywhere” access to a modern and efficient means of conducting college business.

There are three primary areas (called ‘pillars’) affected by the implementation of ctcLink: finance, campus solutions, and human capital management. Pillar Update was created to highlight important events involving ctcLink. Each of the updates will feature content centered on a single pillar.

Our initial email focuses on events that affect human capital management. It’s an overview of important dates related to Human Resources and Payroll processes. We encourage you to add these dates to your calendar.

Future emails will elaborate on upcoming events and offer additional guidance and training, bringing you the information you need!
