If issued keys are lost, please enter a Lost Key, Police Department (KACE form).

LLCC PD will then advise Facilities Services on the best way to proceed which may include re-issuing the same keys or re-pinning locks and issuing new keys to all affected staff.

Once keys have been cut and assigned, you should receive an email notice from KACE indicating that the Work Order Request has been closed.

Thank you from Crystal Norris

My family would like to thank everyone for their kindness and sympathy after the loss of my brother, David Robinson. It gave us much comfort to know that you are thinking of us during this time. Feeling all the love and support from LLCC was truly a blessing. I appreciated all the kind words, thoughts, prayers, cards and flowers. Thank you.

Year-end progress update form due Sept. 1

As a reminder, in an effort to gather progress information for the last fiscal year’s initiatives, we have created a simple Year-End Progress Update Form for your completion. This will serve as a close-out for all FY23 Planning & Budgeting Projects. The updates should be submitted by the end of the day Friday, Sept. 1.

If you submitted a project request during FY23 Planning & Budgeting Process, you will be required to submit year-end progress update information for approved projects. Updated FY23 Planning & Budgeting documents are available on SharePoint. Budget Maintenance requests are excluded from this process.

Please access the SharePoint form and provide progress information for each of your FY23 projects. The form is filtered to display the project ID numbers that you will need to respond to. Select a project ID number, provide the necessary information, include supporting documents as attachments and submit the form. As each project ID is completed, it will be removed from the drop down list on the SharePoint form.

All submitted forms will be routed directly to your VP for review. Your responses should include specific evidence to support your project progress.

If you have questions about what type of specific support, please contact Karie Longhta. If you have any problems with accessing the SharePoint page, contact Megan McCann.
