How do I pay fees?

  1. Log into ctcLink (https://myaccount.ctclink.us/). For best results, use a desktop browser, not the mobile site.
  2. If it doesn’t come up automatically, navigate to the Student Homepage
  3. Click on the “Financial Account” Tile
  4. Click “Account Balance”
  5. Click “Make a Payment”

If you have any trouble, you can pay over the phone by calling the College Cashier 360.383.3363

If it is after the payment due date and your account has a block, the block will be removed the morning of the next business day after your payment.

Why do I have to pay fees? What does Running start give me for free?
