LLCC ALERT test tomorrow
Each semester/term, LLCC tests its emergency alert system 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.
The next test will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, Aug. 27, at approximately 11 a.m. You will receive a test message from LLCC ALERT.
We encourage you to visit www.llcc.edu/alert and log in with your LLCC username and password to check your current contact information and manage how you receive emergency notifications. LLCC ALERT uses the information about you currently stored in the college’s Colleague system, and this information may need updating. Please add your office phone number if it is not listed, and make any other revisions needed.
For assistance, please contact the IT Service Desk at 217-786-2555 or helpdesk@llcc.edu.
Note: Updating your contact information in LLCC ALERT will NOT update that information in Colleague. To update your information in Colleague, please contact LLCC Human Resources.

It’s time for Early Alert
Calling All Faculty:
It’s time to sign up to participate in the Early Alert program for the fall semester! Early Alert is a campus-wide initiative designed to identify students who may be experiencing challenges that impact their academic performance.
The Early Alert program consists of five outreach campaigns: three campaigns for 16-week classes and one campaign for eight-week classes. During the campaign, faculty can indicate concerns or kudos for each student. The goals are to work with students who may need additional support and celebrate those who are doing well. Students and success coaches will be notified via email. Success Coaches will follow up with each student, note the outcomes of their outreach, and eventually close the alert. Faculty will be able to view the outcomes. This process reinforces faculty messaging and enhances communications among faculty, students, and success coaches.
If you are interested in participating in this initiative, please submit the Early Alert Participation Form by Friday, Aug. 30, 2024. Please contact Amanda Turner, director of student success, with questions.
