Three ctcLink Guiding Principles steer this effort:

#2 Enhancement Requests seeking ctcLink customizations must be considered only as meets the following conditions:

• Mandated by Statutory Requirement
• Business Cases (approved by governance) that benefit the system as a whole, or an overriding majority of colleges. (Note: may need to add specific exception clauses for technical college, small rural, etc.).
• Does not adversely delay Oracle releases and/or updates due to excessive retroactive code updates.

#3 The ctcLink system is the system of record. System enhancement requests that seek to replicate information and processes of ctcLink are discouraged.

#8 Processes and procedures may not need to be identical on each campus; however, processes and procedures must be sufficiently similar to remain within the common academic and business services framework of the community and technical college system.
