ctcLink News
Enhancement Requests Recently Deployed
Finance ER 185 - (FYI) Combo Edit Rules Update - deployed Jan. 2, 2024
The college system completed conversion to ctcLink software prior to the close of fiscal year 2022. The combo edit rules require specific data to be entered to process the transactions. The combo edits mirror the same requirements that were often required in the Legacy system.
Finance ER 248 - (FYI) New Accounts and Account Name Changes - deployed Dec. 26, 2023
- New Revenue Accounts: The Capital Allocation for Biennium 2023-25 includes New Funds that our system has not used before. These are funds 23N, 26C and 26V. These are State Appropriated Funds and colleges will need to request reimbursements from the State Treasurer in the VPA process for expenses against these capital allocation funds.
- New Expense Account: Colleges were previously told to use Account 5020015 to submit a % of their Running Start and International Contract revenues to SBCTC for ctcLink support activities. The account is currently titled “Grant, Client Services”. Colleges are currently selecting this account and using it for other purposes, besides Running Start and International Contract remittances, so it is hard for us to identify if colleges are making these required payments or not. We have created a new expense Account dedicated to this purpose.
Finance ER 190 - Customization of ACH Payment Advice - deployed Dec. 20, 2023
The functionality to generate Payment advice for vendors when payment is dispatched from the Financial Gateway is enabled to send notification to vendors when an ACH process completes. The payment advice generated currently is delivered one and has Oracle logo on it. The requirement is to replace the Oracle logo with college logo/name and to customize the Reference Information section.
Campus Solutions ER 256 - (FYI) Maintaining the Class Search Display To Date in the Term Values Table - deployed Dec. 15, 2023.
Set Up SACR > Foundation Tables > Term Setup > Term Values Table (Display in Class Search tab) The “Display To” Date in the Term Value Table will correspond to the latest “last day of term” in the system, as published on the SBCTC website under Instructional Calendars. Existing placeholder entries will be updated when the Instructional Calendar is published. The “Display To” date will be the same for Self-Service Student/Visitor and Self-Service Instructor/Advisor.
Enhancement Requests Currently in Testing
- ER 154 - FWL-Future Effective Dated Hire Row
- ER 158 – FWL Employee Record Look Up
- ER 166 – CampusCE Search/Match Parameter
- ER 193 – Second Journal Set
- ER 197 – New Hire Onboarding Improvements
- ER 238 - OAAP Search Match
PeopleTools Upgrade Underway
The PeopleTools 8.59.21 upgrade project is underway. The team is working on retrofits for Portal, Campus Solutions, Finance, Human Capital Management, and third-party tools Nelnet, CyberSource, and Clean Address.
What is PeopleTools?
PeopleTools provides the underlying technology to develop new applications or customize existing PeopleSoft applications. All PeopleSoft applications are built, deployed, and maintained using PeopleTools.
What is PCD and Why Do We Refresh It?
Testing directly in Production (PRD) — the live ctcLink environment— can be dangerous. For this reason, multiple test environments are maintained for testing and development purposes.
ctcLink colleges have an exclusive test environment called Production College Development (PCD). On the first Monday of each month, the PCD test environment is refreshed to match the live ctcLink environment. This means any changes (or mistakes) made in PCD during the month are erased with each refresh.
All staff have access to the PCD test environment, so they can go wild with testing in PCD, because the slate is wiped clean with each refresh!
What can I do in PCD?
Testing in PCD can include practicing established business processes, developing new business processes, testing security access, developing queries, or researching "What would happen if I did X?" questions. Because PCD is a test environment, any EmplID can be used for testing purposes, including those that belong to real students or staff.
When does the PCD refresh?
The next PCD refresh will be Monday, Feb. 5, 2024. Keep track of the 2024 PCD refresh dates at the Environment/Pillar Updates and Outages page.
Learn more at Testing in PCD and Production.
Class Search Display in ctcLink and HCX (Mobile)
In 2021, the system adopted a full-year (four term) schedule for class search display. As a result, all four terms (Summer, Winter, Fall, Spring) display beginning on April 1 of each year. While an official determination for the Display FROM Date was established, no such determination was made for the Display TO Date.
The Term Values Table is populated 10 years in advance by CS Support. Because this is well before campuses finalize their instructional calendars, placeholder values are entered. Recently, colleges with later term end dates found their in-progress classes for that term stopped displaying prior to the end of the term.
To eliminate this issue, SBCTC established a new business practice. From now on, the placeholder values will be updated annually and will consider actual term end dates. When the Instructional Calendar is published, CS Core will use the latest “last day of term” to update the Display TO dates in the Term Values Table.
This change requires no college action. If a college changes the term-end date after submitting its Instructional Calendar, the college is responsible for alerting Data Services. We also encourage you to submit an FYI ticket to CS Core.
For details, see the 9.2 Class Schedule Display Quick Reference Guide in the ctcLink Reference Center.
Online Admissions Application Portal (OAAP) Enhancement Requests
The following Enhancement Request (ERs) were approved by the ctcLink Working Group:
- ER 169 – OAAP Improvements from ARC
- ER 178 – OAAP Email to ctcLink
- ER 183 – OAAP Buttons, Supplemental Questions, and Suspense Updates
- ER 184 – OAAP Residency Updates
- ER 212 – OAAP Admin and Student Sections
- ER 237 – OAAP Citizenship
Work is currently underway for Priority 1 (Residency & Citizenship) which includes some crossover between ERs 169, 184, and 237.
Campus Solutions staff met with the college OAAP Subcommittee to discuss citizenship values and question logic. The team met with the Admissions & Registration Council (ARC) OAAP Sub-Group on Jan. 8, 2024, and finalized citizenship/visa statuses.
CS Core Partners with ctcLink Security Team
CS Core is working with the ctcLink Security team to enable Advising Notes to be viewed by students in the HCX mobile application. Currently, Advising Notes are set to not display in HCX. CS will submit an FYI Enhancement Request to align the student experience just as they currently can view Advising Notes in the ctcLink Homepage.

Welcome Back Joe Carl
It is with great pleasure that we announce the return of Joe Carl to SBCTC. The PeopleSoft
myth and legend returned last week as a Senior Functional Analyst for the CS Core
support team.
For those who may not be aware, Joe helped lead the implementation of Washington's
community and technical colleges across all PeopleSoft Campus Solutions (CS) modules.
Many will remember Joe from early trainings, BPFGs (Business Process Fit/Gap discussions),
and remediation activities. You can rest assured that his wit, charisma, and CS strengths
have returned with him.
Joe is a natural mentor and problem-solver, who seeks sustainable solutions and prioritizes customer service. With his advanced functional/technical skills and historical knowledge, Joe will be a tremendous asset as we continue to seek improvements to the system.

2023 W-2 Deadline
The W-2 table will be refreshed nightly this week. Please note: The deadline to review and reconcile data for 2023 W-2 Forms is Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024.
The W-2 Forms will be printed at the Washington State Printing Office and will be mailed on or before Jan. 31, 2024 to employees who did not consent to receive the W-2 electronically.
The errors "Incomplete employee address" on the Tax910ER YE RECORD ERROR REPORT need to be resolved ASAP.
Please note the system will use Mailing Address type for W-2 Forms and if that is not available, it will use Home Address. Any other address type will cause errors and the W-2 Form will not be produced. Please work with your employees to make sure they have in ctcLink an address type of at least Home Address in the USA.
Foreign addresses will not show up on this error report; however, it may cause the federal file to get rejected when it is submitted with SSA. Query QHC_PY_YE_EE_W2_AMOUNTS can be used to filler down to non-USA country employees’ address information.
We received the 2023 year-end file from HCA with the actual cost of the employer-sponsored health care on Jan. 8, 2024, and updated the respective deduction balances in ctcLink. The reporting of employer-sponsored medical and dental costs on the employee W-2 Form is for information only.

Second Journal Set (SJS) Updates User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
We are excited to invite users to participate in UAT for the SJS updates scheduled to move to production sometime in February 2024. The SJS process will transition to nightly automation, streamlining operations by eliminating manual intervention.
Staff involved with Second Journal Set processing, grant budgets and reimbursement, and SF/Finance Management are strongly encouraged to participate in UAT.
Before users can begin testing the new automation process, SJS item types with new/different activity fields must be set up in the CS pillar, see Updating Second Journal Set General Ledger. Testers should also double check chart strings against their grant budgets including project number and activity.
The old Second Journal Set process will cease as of Jan. 22, 2024. Colleges can begin receiving files as of Feb. 2, 2024 (pending SJS item type updates.)

Legacy Transcript GPA Calculation Update & User Acceptance Testing
The Legacy Transcript team has been working on finalizing a new production release of the application. This new release will:
- Change the GPA calculation so it matches what was in the Legacy HP-UX system. In Legacy, Grade Points were calculated to a single decimal place and in the new Legacy Transcript application Grade Points have been calculated to two decimal places. In some cases, this may have resulted in a slight difference in GPA for some students.
- Ensure GPA values from the new Legacy Transcript application match what was calculated in the Legacy HP-UX system.
Colleges are invited to test and validate the change
Now that this change passed SBCTC’s internal test phase, the colleges are invited to test and validate the change.
All colleges are encouraged to participate in validation. If a college declines to participate in validation, the college is giving approval for the change to move to production based on validation completed by the rest of the community.
Important dates
- Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023 – Friday, Jan. 5, 2024: College users entered service desk tickets with SIDs
- Monday, Jan. 8 – Friday, Jan. 12, 2024: Legacy Transcript team review
- Monday, Jan. 15 – Friday, Jan. 19, 2024: College user review of data provided and acceptance
How to get involved
We are providing colleges with an opportunity to review and provide sign-off before the release is implemented in production. Since college users no longer have access to HP-UX Legacy or access to the internal QA environment, users that would like to test must follow the following process.
- We seek only ONE ticket submission per college between now and Jan. 5, 2024. Please make sure you are your college's designated submitter before sending in your ticket request.
- Enter a Service Desk ticket using the Request Type: ctcLink Support > Campus Solutions > CS: Legacy
Transcript
- Indicate three to five SIDs per college to be validated.
- Enter GPA Calculation Validation and your college name in the Subject.
- Example: GPA Calculation Validation – Columbia Basin
- Enter the SIDs in the Request Detail.
The Legacy Transcript team will review the service desk ticket and will attach copies of the student’s transcripts from both the Legacy HP-UX system and the Legacy Transcript QA environment where the change resides. Once the transcripts are added to the notes in the ticket, the Status will be changed to Pending Customer Response and the service desk system will generate an email to the client letting them know that the ticket has been updated and that the GPA values are ready to be reviewed.
Once the review is finished, please note the service desk ticket with your acceptance or with any issues you encountered during your review.
Reach out to Tami Whitney, Associate Director of Testing, if you have any questions.
Query Migration Form Accessibility Fixes
Query migration form accessibility issues have been fixed. The main concern was that text on the page overlapped with an SBCTC logo watermark in the background. Upon review, we found a violation of Success Criterion 1.4.12 Text Spacing. The page theme was updated and now meets or exceeds WCAG AA contrast ratios for all elements with no overlapping text/watermarks.
You’re invited! ctcLink Accessibility Monthly Open Forum
SBCTC hosts monthly forums to engage Washington's community and technical college system in discussions around ctcLink accessibility and technology. We aim to improve communication and transparency while providing space for productive and solution-focused dialog. Our main objective is to deliver accessible technology for all our students, staff, and the larger community.
Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month, 11 a.m. to noon.
