LLCC ALERT test today

Each semester, LLCC tests its emergency alert system called 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.

Lincoln Landing app for students

Introducing the LINCOLN LANDing APP. A COVID screening tool for students. There's an App for that! LLCC LINCOLN LANDing.Now that the spring semester is underway and students are now using the new Lincoln Landing app for health screenings,  it is important to share a few reminders.

Any student arriving on campus for any activity is required to complete the health screening form via the Lincoln Landing app. Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to ensure students have completed the app as they arrive to campus by asking to view the students’ “badge.” Students who have not completed the screening should be asked to do so prior to entering the classroom.

For those students who do not have a smart device, they may take a photo of their badge (if able) or print their badge and present this upon arrival. Please know the badges are date and time stamped. Paper screenings can be completed if needed for students and should be kept on file by the department, faculty or staff member. The student can be given a copy to keep with them for the day to show to staff when asked. The date should be on the paper form.

Should students have difficulty signing into the app, here a few trouble shooting tips to assist them.

  1. Students must accept the email invitation they received to their LLCC email account prior to accessing the app. The email is from School Info App. From the email invitation, they will click the link and be prompted to create their password. Once they have completed that process, they can then access the app. Students who registered prior to the end of 2020 would have received the email invitation on Jan. 5.
  2. The Lincoln Landing app can be found by searching for Lincoln-Landing.app in the Apple or Google Play store.
  3. The Lincoln Landing app is different than the LLCC Connect app.
  4. Students need to use their full email address as their username/login.
  5. If students are having difficulty with their password, or if they registered this year and did not receive an email invitation, please contact Rachel Duff, COVID-19 student health coordinator, at rachel.duff@llcc.edu or 217-786-2077.
