Join us in wishing Dr. Scott Stallman, associate vice president, LLCC outreach, all the best in his next adventure! Mark your calendars to attend his farewell party on Tuesday, July 11 from 1-3 p.m. at LLCC-Taylorville.

Each semester, LLCC tests its emergency alert system called LLCC ALERT. The test will take place today, Tuesday, June 6, at approximately 2 p.m. 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.

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 database system, and this information may need updating. Please add your office phone number if it is not listed, and make any other revisions needed.

You will receive a test message from LLCC ALERT as well as a follow-up email to make sure you received the test message.

For assistance, please contact the IT Service Desk at 6.2555 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 Human Resources.

#1 – Remember that we are operating under summer hours, and CoAs for full days off need to reflect summer hours (nine hours instead of eight hours).

#2 – If you open Etrieve to complete a CoA and the form does not display correctly, there is a quick fix to make it right. Just minimize the left column by clicking on the arrow (see image below). This will fix the layout of the CoA to match what was shown in the training.

If you have additional questions, please contact Human Resources.

Public Relations and Marketing will conduct a photo shoot on campus this morning and may visit various classes. We will ask permission before entering any classroom.
