Access to FY20 planning and budgeting form closes Friday

The FY20 planning and budgeting process is underway using the new SharePoint form that was developed last year. The form streamlines the submission process, successfully collapsing all the previous forms into one easy-to-use form. Users can access the form for submission of items for the FY20 planning and budgeting year. Access to the form will close at the end of the day Friday, April 5.

To aid budget managers in submitting Existing Budget Increase/Decrease (budget maintenance) requests, the budget office has emailed budget baseline worksheets to users. If you are a budget manager of an auxiliary unit and are making budget maintenance adjustments, you are required to attach the baseline worksheets to your forms prior to submission. See direction pdf for more information.

Written directions and instructional videos have been created to assist users with form completion. These items and a link to the Planning & Budgeting SharePoint form are posted to the FY2020 Planning & Budgeting page, which is accessible from the Finance Department’s SharePoint page.

Nominations for 2019 Distinguished Service Award due April 5

Nominations for the 2019 Distinguished Service Award are currently open and due Friday, April 5.

April is Counseling Awareness Month

Greetings from LLCC Advising, Counseling and Career Services! We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that if you have concerns about a student or find them in crisis, we encourage you to call the counselor line: 217-786-9660.  This number is one that staff and faculty (not to be given to students) can call Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. if you need to refer a student for crisis intervention/counseling. When you call, a counselor on the main campus will answer, and then you can either have the student speak to the counselor via phone or the counselor can come to the student’s location. If it is after 5 p.m., or on the weekend, the counselor line will connect you with LLCC Police.

We offer short-term, solution-focused, confidential counseling services to currently enrolled students, free of charge. If you have concerns about a student, but they are not in immediate crisis, you may call 217-786-2224 and ask to speak to one of the counselors. We can then explain how we can reach out to the student of concern. Please note the counselor line is for immediate crisis only and not for issues related to classroom management or behavior; if that is the concern, please contact Leslie Johnson, AVP of student success.

Thank you for all that you do for LLCC students!
Advising, Counseling and Career Services
