Edmonds College's internet connection is currently experiencing technical issues. Our IT team is actively working to restore campus network access to ctcLink, Google services, and all other online resources. These resources remain accessible from non-campus network connections and via mobile devices. An estimated time for restoration is not yet available. Some employees may not be on campus due to remote work. Updates will follow. Thank you for your patience.
