Fire sprinkler system testing

LLCC Facilities Services will be coordinating inspections of fire sprinkler systems in all LLCC buildings this week. While we strive to keep disruptions to a minimum, it is necessary to occasionally activate the fire alarm systems during testing.

Main campus inspections are scheduled for today, July 11, and Outreach Center inspections are scheduled for tomorrow, July 12.

Your patience is appreciated as we perform these vital inspections.

FY24 Sick Bank Open Enrollment

As a reminder, the college is currently in the open enrollment window for the employee sick bank.

Employees who are currently members of the sick bank have the opportunity to voluntarily donate additional days to the sick bank. Note: If HR does not receive a form from currently enrolled members, your enrollment status will remain the same with no sick day donation required.

To enroll or donate additional days, please visit the HR portal page to complete the sick bank form.

All forms must be submitted to HR by July 13, 2023.

FY24 budget online

The FY24 budget has been uploaded into Colleague. You may start entering purchase requisitions for FY24 at this time. LLCC Purchasing would ask you to be aware of a couple pointers as you enter the requisitions:

  • When creating a requisition, please provide a concise description for the product or service you are purchasing. Please do not use product ID numbers. The description should allow any user to understand what is being requested.
  • If a purchase is tied to an FY24 planning initiative, please provide the Project ID # in the comments field
  • For any single item equipment purchased in excess of $500, please specify the location of the asset in the comments field. This will help with tagging the item.
  • Please allow 2-3 business days for requisitions to be approved and for your blankets to be established.

Purchasing will no longer send out paper copies of blankets as they’re set up in Colleague. Should a copy be needed, please contact Denise Arias-Rogers. Blanket numbers can be found by using the ACBL or RINQ screens in Colleague. Should you have any questions about how to use these screens, please contact Jeremy Bliss.

FY24 planning and budgeting recap documents will be posted to the LLCC Finance Department’s SharePoint site later this week. Please take time to familiarize yourself with the documents, which are sorted by requester’s name. Also watch for emails over the next few weeks if you have been allocated funding from tech fee, small projects and/or FFE. We will be reaching out to individuals to begin the purchasing process and will provide purchasing directions and necessary account numbers.

Fiscal Year Distinction on Payable Items

The deadline to submit items for payment from FY23 is July 13. From now through July 13, please specify in your emails to LLCC Accounts Payable if you need the item(s) to be paid from FY23 or FY24. Anything submitted after July 13, will be paid from FY24.

If you have any questions, please contact LLCC Accounts Payable at Accounts.Payable@llcc.edu.

Graduation applications due July 15 for summer 2023 graduates

Prospective graduates must submit a graduation application to LLCC Student Records by the deadline for the term in which all graduation requirements will be completed. To be considered a summer graduate, graduation applications are due July 15, 2023.
