Starting on Nov. 22, movers will begin relocating LLCC Student Services staff in Menard Hall to their temporary locations in the Millennium Center and lower level of Sangamon Hall. Earlier this fall, Accessibility Services moved to the Millennium Center and Testing to Logan Hall.
The upcoming moves will be phased over the final few weeks of 2022 with the hope that each department will be settled into their temporary locations in early 2023. This has required a lot of hard work and coordination by all involved, and we will ask for everyone to be patient as these new locations will take some adjustments for both students and staff. Future announcements will be coming from each department within Student Services as to “where to find them” soon.

Admissions, Records and Registration offices are cleaning out in anticipation of an upcoming renovation. They have various office supplies that are up for grabs. If anyone would like to stop by and take a look, they would love them to go to a good use.
Hanging file folders, folder labels, desk organizers, baskets and flyer holders are available.
