HOW TO ORDER/PURCHASE TEXTBOOKS FROM THE COLLEGE BOOKSTORE Now there are three ways students can obtain their textbooks from Shoreline Community College. You can purchase your textbooks by visiting the bookstore directly, online, and for select texts, rental options are available.
To view what textbooks you might need for your courses visit the Shoreline Community College's book-store at: http://www.shorelineccbookstore.com/ It is easy to view your textbooks online by choosing the quarter in which you will be taking courses and then select the general category of courses from the dropdown menus. Next, choose the class you will be taking and a list of texts should appear. If there is more than one instructor teaching, select your instructor.
For those students wishing to order their textbooks online, a shipping fee may occur. The bookstore is located in the bottom floor of the PUB (Pagoda Union Building). It is always advised that students purchase their textbooks prior to the start of class(es) to best pre-pare for the first day.
CURRICULUM CHANGES As of January 1, 2012, the HIIM programs prerequisites will include: Math 80 Elementary Algebra, English 101 Composition, and BIO 170 Human Biology.
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STUDENTS Health Information Technology students will be required to have a criminal background check, at their expense, prior to attending professional practice experience (PPE). Students who do not pass this check may have difficulty finding clinical practice sites for their internships and may possibly not be able to complete their program. The Program Director will discuss procedures with students prior to placements at sites. Please note, most health care facilities require all employees to successfully pass criminal background checks before they are hired.
