New official transcript request process; LLCC no longer processes requests

Effective immediately, LLCC will no longer process official transcripts.  To better serve our students, LLCC has partnered with Parchment for the production of our official transcripts.  Using Parchment enables our students to order their LLCC transcript from anywhere at any time. Students can order transcripts from Parchment three ways:

  • LLCC website:  Direct students to go to our webpage and type “transcript” in the search box.  They will be redirected to a page explaining the process and providing a link to Parchment.
  • WebAdvisor:  WebAdvisor provides a quick link to our Parchment site in the “Students” section under Academic Profile.
  • Parchment website:  Students and former students can visit Parchment.com.  In the box that asks “What school did you attend?” they should type “Lincoln Land Community College”.  This will direct them to our site within Parchment.

LLCC staff can still provide students with unofficial transcripts.  Unofficial transcripts are processed for students in person at any LLCC location or through WebAdvisor.  Students requesting in person must have a photo ID.  Transcripts requests (whether official or unofficial) will no longer be accepted by email, fax, or phone.

LLCC-Taylorville celebrates college’s 50th anniversary

LLCC-Taylorville celebrated the 50th anniversary of the college yesterday with a ceremony in which Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry presented a city proclamation to LLCC President Charlotte Warren. Dr. Warren then assisted Alderman Earl Walters in unwrapping a new street sign, “Lincoln Land Way,” to mark the renaming of the former Lee Norse Drive on the north side of LLCC-Taylorville. The new sign will be posted soon. The ceremony took place just prior to a meeting of the LLCC-Taylorville Community Partnership Group, formerly called the Advisory Council. The original LLCC-Taylorville celebration, scheduled for April 29, was cancelled due to stormy weather.

Congratulations, Kevin Lust!
