Cybersecurity refers to the preventative steps and techniques used to safeguard and protect the integrity of a network, programs and data from attack, damage, and/or unauthorized access.​

  • If you feel that you may have been subjected to a security breach, immediately change your LLCC password and notify the IT Help Desk at 786-2555 or helpme@llcc.edu.
  • If the computer has any personal online account passwords stored, it is recommended that you change these passwords immediately, as well as check with any financial institutions for issues.

Should you plan to travel outside of the continental United States, please contact the IT Helpdesk  via email or by submitting a ticket to the LLCC Helpdesk in KBOX. We will need to know the destination, leave and return dates of your trip. The IT department will then document your account so that you can access your Office 365 account.

Multi-Factor Authentication – additional account security

The college has implemented additional security to our network accounts. Multi-factor authentication has been enabled for all faculty and staff. This is an additional step and does not replace the authentication verification steps that you have completed when setting up your account via email in Office 365.

You will need a personal cell or home phone number to complete the setup. Do not use your office phone, as you must have the phone available to answer or obtain a texted code.

KBOX – online Helpdesk ticketing system

At https://help.llcc.edu or https://www.llcc.edu/my-llcc, select KBOX Forms under Faculty/Staff Resources. You will find the Online Knowledge Base and several queues available:

  • LLCC Helpdesk – technology request for assistance for yourself or a classroom.
  • Blackboard Technical Support
  • MFP Staples
  • Colleague Projects
  • Event Request
  • Facilities Services Work Order Request

Classroom Assistance

Each classroom has a phone programmed directly to the Help Desk. When a classroom calls, this is considered code orange and goes directly to our priority line. The classroom will receive urgent/priority help within five minutes. For immediate help, please do not direct classroom issues to your administrative assistant. Code orange classroom assistance is available during normal Help Desk hours.
