Make Your ctcLink Profile Perfect!

All international students in the US are required to report certain information to their international advisors (also known as Designated School Officials) in order to maintain status. At Highline, we collect most of this information within the ctcLink system. 

Log in to ctcLink here and take the following actions.

(These items are all connected to the “profile” update – see instruction video.) 

1. Update your address(es) and phone numbers 

• Put your US address into the “home” field.
• If you have a US mobile/cell phone number, enter that phone number into the “mobile” field and indicate that you can accept tet messages. Highline will use this number for our emergency alert system. 
• (We don’t actually need your home country information once you arrive in the US, so you can feel free to delete that.)

2. Add at least one person as an emergency contact

• Someone outside of the US (usually a parent) that you would want us to contact in case of a true emergency. It’s ok if they don’t speak English!
• Someone in the US (can be a family member, friend, roommate, etc.). We might contact this person if we need to reach you quickly. 

3. Add your Highline email address (username@students.highline.edu)* and mark it as “preferred.”  (It’s up to you if you delete the non-Highline email or not, but we want to make sure that all official college emails go to your Highline email!)

*You must activate your myHighline account in order to create your email address. Read more about that here.
