All Official college business sent via email will be sent to your LVC email address directly.

For Instructors

Since important College-related information is being sent to instructors’ email, it is critical that instructors are reading their LVC email on a regular basis. This can be accomplished three different ways:

1. Check your LVC email via MyLVC;
2. Configure your smart phone to Sync your LVC email; or
3. Forward your LVC email to a personal account.(If you are an instructor whose LVC email box is not being checked regularly, and you would like it forwarded to a personal email account, please send an email to Joy Albright at albright@lvc.edu requesting assistance.)

For Students

Important email sent to your LVC mailbox is class cancellations, College closings, changes in schedules, email from your instructor(s) and advisor(s), etc. Students may forward their LVC email to a non-LVC email service at their own risk. The College neither guarantees nor takes responsibility for the delivery, security or privacy of email messages once they leave the LVC network or LVC-hosted services. Students can check their email three different ways:

1. Via MyLVC;
2. Configure your smart phone to Sync your LVC WebMail; or
3. Forward Your LVC WebMail to a personal account.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Epsilon’s security system was breached. Epsilon is an online marketer that many firms contract with to handle their corporate email communications.  Files containing the first names, last names and email addresses were accessed without authorization. You may have received emails from some companies you do business with that they are customers of Epsilon, e.g., TIAA-CREF, Verizon, Capital One Financial, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Best Buy, Walgreens, Hilton, Marriott, etc.

Since Epsilon does not have access to customer account information, only names and addresses were accessed. The fear is this information will be used in “phishing” methods to get account information from individuals. It is always good practice to disregard unsolicited, requests for personal or account information. If in doubt, call the requesting company on the company’s published phone number, not a website or phone number included in an email message.

Below are some additional precautions we recommend you follow:

• Do not give your user ID or password in email.
• Do not respond to emails that require you to enter personal or financial information directly into the email.
• Do not reply to emails asking you to send personal information.
• Do not respond to emails threatening to close your account if you do not provide personal information

LVC IT Services will never ask for your username and/or password on the phone or via email. Periodically you may receive emails regarding server storage quota limits or a request to change your password when the password is about to expire. Feel free to contact the IT Services Help Desk at 717.867.6072 or helpdesk@lvc.edu if you have any questions.
