  • 2020-2021 Olympic College Catalog
    OLYMPIC COLLEGE 2020 – 2021 CATALOG Message from the President Welcome to Olympic College! Greetings Olympic College Rangers, Welcome to Olympic College! Whether you’re looking to earn a certificate, associate degree, transfer to a university, or earn a bachelor’s degree right here at Olympic College, we’re here to help you achieve your goals and dreams. This past year presented challenges that none of us could have foreseen with the global spread of COVID-19. Olympic College, like colleges and universities throughout the state and across the country, was required to temporarily move all instruction and services online. With more than 2,000 courses in our catalog and 7,000 students quarterly, moving everything online was a Herculean task – but we did it. While preparing for our first ever exclusively online quarter, Olympic College also launched a new student management system – Community and Technical College Link (ctcLink). ctcLink replaces an internally built system that was launched in 1984. It provides a modern portal where students can choose a program of study, register for classes, pay tuition, track Marty Cavalluzzi, Ph.D. your progress, apply for graduation and much more. It was yet another President, Olympic College unforeseen challenge for the college and our students to overcome. As is often the case, you see great innovation during times of crises, and this was no exception. 2020-2021 Across the college, on all three campuses and the Puget Sound Naval Board of Trustees Shipyard (PSNS), every employee and student rose to the challenge, Harriette Bryant and I consider them all heroes.
