LLCC ALERT test today

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 is taking place today, Tuesday, Aug. 27, at approximately 11 a.m. You will receive a test message from LLCC ALERT.
