Textbook Buyback

At the beginning and end of each quarter a representative from The University Bookstore (UBS) will be available on campus to buy back textbooks. There are two levels of pricing for books; 50% of the new retail price will be paid for books that the bookstore needs for the upcoming quarter. Need is based on the information the bookstore receives from the instructors and the level of bookstore stock. Books that the bookstore does not need are bought back based on current national demand. These books are shipped to the wholesalers warehouse for resale. Wholesale prices are approximately 10-30% of the new retail price. Out-of-print books and old editions are not in national demand and therefore may have no buyback value.

Parking and traffic laws are granted to the college by RCW 28B.50.140 (10) to provide a fair and uniform method of regulating such rules and regulations. Failure to abide by these laws may result in a fine, as well as being considered a violation of the code of student conduct.

Parking after 3:00 p.m. M-F, and during weekends, holidays, and campus closures is free, and students can park in staff lots during those times.

Quarterly parking permits are required for all students who wish to park on campus during daytime hours. One pre-purchased student permit allows students to park on campus in all student lots. The fee is $45 plus tax per quarter. Permits can be purchased at the Cashier’s Office (2nd floor of the 5000 building), and the Bookstore (1st floor of the 9000 PUB building.) (Price is subject to change.) Purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. Student parking permits must hang from the vehicle’s rear view mirror facing outward in order to be valid.

It is illegal at all times to park in roadways, fire lanes, bus zones, loading zones, on walkways or pedestrian paths, landscaped areas, curbs zoned with red, areas with “No Parking” signs, or in service driveways. Other violations that may result in a vehicle being impounded include: blocking a fire hydrant, blocking another legally parked car, double parking, parking in a marked tow away zone, or having outstanding unpaid citations at the College. Fines are payable at the Cashier’s Office. If there is reason to believe a ticket was unjustified, a citation appeal form can be obtained at campus Safety & Security (5102). Appeals must be filed within 5 working days of the date on the ticket; after that time the fine must be paid and cannot be appealed.

Shoreline Community College encourages students to take advantage of our services and facilities, and welcomes student involvement in campus activities and special events. Students are offered many opportunities to become involved in the campus community through attendance at special educational programs offered outside of the classroom, through participation with clubs and organizations that plan these programs, through participation in recreational or intercollegiate sports, and especially through working with the students, professional staff, and faculty who support these programs. Students can learn valuable skills and develop a community by taking leadership roles in campus organizations. Participation in extracurricular programs is always valued and will broaden students’ educational experience at the college.
