Employee Self-Service Tutorials and Help Resources

On October 11, 2021, Green River College will move to a new system for student and employee self-service. This new system, called ctcLink, changes the way we do all our college business. This web page was designed to help guide employees in completing some essential tasks based on your role and department. These resources will help you answer the questions that start with: "How will I...?"

Click on the accordion box under the appropriate category for step-by-step instructions. Note: we will continue to add and refine information as it is developed. Check back often as you need help.

Activate My ctcLink Account

You only need to activate your account once. Remember to write down your new ctcLink ID (EMPLID). Note: those who activated accounts in test environments prior to ctcLink go-live must reactivate. Your ctcLink ID (EMPLID) will be the same.

Manager Self Service

The following training session is available for review: ctcLink Training: Manager Self Service (GatorNet video)

Managers need to approve timesheets (aka payable time) for their classified, hourly, and student employees. Hourly and student employees are only paid for time reported through ctcLink and that their manager approves.

Deadlines:

Pay Period    Normal Pay Date   Timesheet Deadline
1st to 15th of month  25th day of month  15th day of month
16th to end of month          10th day of month               30th day of month                

Note:

  • Timesheets for a pay period can be submitted and approved multiple times if changes need to be made.
  • HR encourages hourly and student employees to submit their time worked each day. Managers can approve time as it is submitted or weekly, and do not need to wait until the end of the pay period to approve.

Student Services

There are state-wide guidelines for how different course, programs, and students are coded within ctcLink. These are documented in SBCTC’s Student and Course Coding Manual. Within each area, the manual describes how they are coded in the Legacy Student Management System (SMS), as well as how they should be coded in PeopleSoft.

ctcLink includes two built-in reporting tools for staff: PS Query and BI Publisher. Both tools have a statewide library of queries, and most users are not able to edit or create their own queries. Many staff who are using ctcLink will need to run reports from statewide report library, however the ability to run reports is based on pillar-specific security permissions.
