Federal Work-Study

Do you need a student employee but don’t have any funds in your budget? If so, you need the Federal Work-Study program to assist you! Federal Work-Study provides an opportunity for students to work part time at the college to help with education costs. These funds come directly from Department of Education, so you don’t have to have a student employee budget line to have a student employee. Students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have financial need to be considered eligible for Federal Work-Study funds. Contact Lara Marshall in LLCC Financial Aid at 217-786-2215 or lara.marshall@llcc.edu immediately for more information!

Student Services on the move

Starting on Nov. 22, movers will begin relocating LLCC Student Services staff in Menard Hall to their temporary locations in the Millennium Center and lower level of Sangamon Hall. Earlier this fall, Accessibility Services moved to the Millennium  Center and Testing to Logan Hall.

The upcoming moves will be phased over the final few weeks of 2022 with the hope that each department will be settled into their temporary locations in early 2023.  This has required a lot of hard work and coordination by all involved, and we will ask for everyone to be patient as these new locations will take some adjustments for both students and staff.  Future announcements will be coming from each department within Student Services as to “where to find them” soon.
