Payment plans will look different starting with fall 2023. We will be offering them in-house rather than going through Nelnet. We will still offer the same plans as Nelnet, but with more internalized control.

LLCC account geofencing
As a reminder, in order to improve security on our computer network, geofencing has been activated for all LLCC accounts. Geofencing blocks access to LLCC accounts outside of the United States. If you are traveling outside of the country and will need access to your LLCC account, please let the Help Desk know to have geofencing deactivated for the duration of your travel.
Most account attacks come from outside of the country. Geofencing is a good measure to block those attacks and reduce the number of compromise accounts.

CAS March student worker of the month
Congratulations to Cassidy Constant who is the LLCC Center for Academic Success’ March student worker of the month. Cassidy has worked as a peer tutor since August 2022. She provides essential tutoring to LLCC students in biology, chemistry and other general education courses. Cassidy goes the extra mile for her tutees, sending follow-up communication to review the concepts she helped students review during their tutoring sessions and creating handouts, study guides and other supplemental resources to help her tutees continue their review and study independently. Her enthusiasm for and dedication to helping her fellow students is evident in her willingness to go above and beyond expectations to ensure LLCC students get the support they need to reach their goals.
