Why ctcLink

Hi student,

It’s almost time for the upgrade to ctclink! Bellevue College’s new information management system “goes live” Nov. 8, and ctclink student account activation begins Nov. 17.

Why are we making this change? There are several reasons:

  1. All Washington state community and technical colleges are making the
    transition-and some already have!
  2. The current system is 35 years old.
  3. ctclink offers a centralized area to manage and track your education.
  4. ctcLink is a more modern, efficient way for the college to do business.

While the new system changes several processes, we’ll provide training materials, information, and important updates that help keep your education on track.

What to Expect During the Transition

Many processes are impacted by the transition to ctcLink. And with the entire college involved, there are many moving pieces. We’ve worked hard to make this a smooth transfer and have tutorials, live support, and other ways for you to get your questions answered.

Expect to receive several communications in the coming months with more information.
