We had a great day getting front-line staff onboarded yesterday. We learned a few things we want to share so you can have an even better activation experience:

  • If you need to use a networked copier or scanner, from now on you will need to use your ctcLink ID
  • Some who should have had access to the Faculty Center yesterday were not seeing these tiles. This was reported to the State Board and has since been fixed.

Submitted by Rip Heminway on March 28, 2022 - 12:10pm

Now that we are less than two months from our May 9 ctcLink GoLive date, it’s time for all employees to start learning about this new system. To make this easier, we are enrolling all staff and faculty in a ctcLink training course called “ES100 HCM Employee Self-Service” to learn how you will do important personnel functions like tracking work time, submitting leave requests, updating your personal information, accessing your paycheck information, and creating travel authorizations.

 

How do Logins and Passwords work with ctcLink?

Submitted by Rip Heminway on March 25, 2022 - 3:19pm

Last summer the college settled on ClipperID as the single standard credential used for getting access to stuff. We have been able to move all of our college applications (close to 40) to use ClipperID, which is the same as one's SPSCC email address.

When we move to ctcLink, we will need to learn a second set of credentials to access all things ctcLink. This will be the case until which time the SBCTC develops the Okta connector that allows these two sets of credentials to be merged into one.
