A convenient way to keep up with important dates and events at LLCC is via the “College” and “Events” calendars available to you in Outlook. Due to spending restrictions and the college’s green initiative, the employee calendar will no longer be printed – by cabinet decision. Instead, employees are encouraged to use the College Calendar (which includes dates from the academic calendar) and the Events calendar in Outlook, and also the calendar on the LLCC website (click the red “Calendar” button on the homepage).

To add the official LLCC college calendar and events calendars to Microsoft Outlook, click the links below: *You may need to highlight, copy and paste into your browser.
