What is LCCText?
LCCText is the Lansing Community College email
and text message emergency notification system. The system would be
used during emergencies such as a tornado warning, college closing
due to severe winter weather, or an on-campus emergency.
LCCText is one of several means of providing
emergency notifications to students and employees. Please review the
Emergency Notifications
page
for additional information.
How do I sign up?
To sign up to receive LCCText messages, log
into StarPort. Select the My Place tab, then select the LCCText tab.
Log into the LCCText system using your college TUID and password.
Once you are logged into LCCText, you will be able to add and delete
your email and mobile wireless device addresses.
How many email addresses and mobile
wireless devices can I enter?
The LCCText system will allow you to enter up
to three email addresses and three mobile wireless devices.
Is there a charge for LCCText?
Lansing Community College does not charge for
this service. However, depending on the terms of your wireless
mobile device service agreement, you may be charged by your wireless
service provider when you receive an LCCText message.
How do I know if my cell phone can
receive the LCCText messages?
The LCCText system works by sending an email
message to the mobile wireless devices you enter in the system. When
adding a wireless mobile device to LCCText, a dropdown menu will
allow you to select from a list of known wireless service providers
known to provide email message delivery. However, the terms of your
wireless mobile device service agreement and the type of wireless
mobile device you use may dictate whether you will be able to
receive the LCCText messages. Check with your wireless mobile device
provider if you have further questions about receiving LCCText
messages.
How quickly will I get an LCCText
message?
At the Downtown and West Campus locations, all
the classroom buildings have emergency public address paging
systems. As quickly as enough is known in order to provide accurate
information and instructions after an emergency situation develops,
a message can be broadcast over the voice paging systems
Once a message has been broadcast over the
building paging systems, messages may be sent through the LCCText
system. It may take 5 to 20 minutes for the wireless system
providers to deliver a LCCText message to your mobile wireless
device. Be aware that some wireless providers may perceive
text messages sent to multiple recipients as spam and filter them
out. |
