About ctcLink
Seattle Colleges — North Seattle College, Seattle Central College, and South Seattle College — moved to ctcLink as of Monday, February 22, 2021. ctcLink replaced our decades-old student data, employee, and business systems. It is a PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning system that integrates data across Seattle Colleges and the state's community and technical college system. As of May 2022, ctcLink is in use at all 34 of Washington's public community and technical colleges (along with the SBCTC agency).

Background Information
ctcLink and Other Existing Information Systems
How does ctcLink work with existing information systems used by students, staff, and faculty across Seattle Colleges?
In ctcLink implementation, conversion and validation refers to the process of loading data from legacy systems to PeopleSoft. The conversion process involved identifying the data that must be brought to the new system, mapping the data to PeopleSoft fields, translating old codes into PeopleSoft codes, and finally loading the clean, compatible data into PeopleSoft/ctcLink.
The move to ctcLink was led by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) project team. They work with each district to bring them into the system. ctcLink is also how SBCTC has purchased and configured Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Finance, and Human Capital Management pillars to work together.
