The LLCC Center for Academic Success looks forward to working with faculty and students this summer. Please feel free to come down and visit us in the lower level of Sangamon Hall and speak with our staff about the many services offered to help students reach their goals and achieve academic success. To help get the semester off to a great start, please check your email for the following files sent on May 30: a makeup testing form, summer 2019 service hours and a Smart Start Seminar flyer.

  1. Makeup testing form – In the event that any of your students are unable to take an exam during regular class time, please use this form to provide our testing proctor with necessary details regarding how you would like your make-up test to be administered in the Center for Academic Success.
  2. Summer 2019 service hours -This is a great resource to include with your syllabus on the first day of class and to post on bulletin boards in your office.
  3. Smart Start Seminar flyer – This, again, can be included with your syllabus or posted in your classroom. Our seminars teach students a variety of proven strategies for success in college level courses.  All of the seminars cover the same topics, so students may choose the one day and time that works best with their schedules.

For more detailed information about our services, you can also visit us online at www.llcc.edu/cas. Have a great semester, and please let us know if we can be of further assistance!
