LLCC Alert test tomorrow, 11 a.m.

Each semester/term, LLCC tests its emergency alert system LLCC ALERT. LLCC ALERT allows the college to communicate with you by text, phone and email in an emergency, as well as for severe weather and other closures. Current employees and students are automatically enrolled in LLCC ALERT.

The next test will take place tomorrow, Aug. 30, at approximately 11 a.m. You will receive a test message from LLCC ALERT.

We encourage you to visit www.llcc.edu/alert and log in with your LLCC username and password to check your current contact information and manage how you receive emergency notifications. LLCC ALERT uses the information about you currently stored in the college’s Colleague system, and this information may need updating. Please add your office phone number if it is not listed, and make any other revisions needed.

For assistance, please contact the IT Service Desk at 217-786-2555 or helpdesk@llcc.edu.

Note: Updating your contact information in LLCC ALERT will NOT update that information in Colleague. To update your information in Colleague, please contact LLCC Human Resources.

Sign up to participate in Early Alert

LLCC Student Success is continuing to grow participation in Early Alert, which was rebooted during the fall 2021 semester. Last academic year, we had approximately 25 faculty participate and would like to continue to increase participation.

In short, Early Alert is when faculty send out an alert (flag) or kudos for a student either doing well in their course or not so well. Your participation means that you would complete three campaign surveys about students in your courses for the regular term (and one campaign during eight-week courses if you happen to teach those). During the campaign, you can indicate any concerns or kudos you have for each student, then the success coach and student will receive an email. Once the success coach receives the notification, they will reach out to the student to discuss. They can make notes and then eventually close the flag (or kudo), and you will be able to see the notes made by the success coach. This ensures that we can work with students if they need additional support (or congratulate them for their hard work), that the success coach reinforces any messaging from faculty, and that communication and collaboration are enhanced.

If you wish to take part, please complete this Early Alert Participation Form by Sept. 1. After signing up, be on the lookout for information about upcoming training sessions.

If you have any questions, please email Alex Berry at alex.berry@llcc.edu.
