Communication

Louisiana Delta's Adult Education program will communicate with you in a variety of ways, from the time you complete the online application and beyond! We want to help you stay motivated and keep moving towards your goals, so here are some of the ways we will keep in touch:

1. Email (Gmail or other Email Account)

Having an email account is required to complete your application for Adult Education services, as well as for staying connected with our program, your instructors, and applying for employment!

• One of the most popular, reliable, and FREE email platforms is Gmail, offered by Google.
• If you already have an email account set up, make sure you trust emails from the ladelta.edu domain so you don't miss any of our communications!
• Review some of these tips regarding basic internet and email safety to protect your privacy and passwords as well. 

2. Lance the Adult Education Navigator

Lance the Knight is a friendly A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) chatbot named after our mascot at Louisiana Delta Community College, because when you are a student in Adult Education you are a part of our whole college community!

• Lance checks in with our students periodically and provides resources for any challenges they might be facing. 
• Lance also responds 24 hours a day/7 days a week to any questions you may have, such as "How do I contact my teacher?", or "I need help finding childcare so I can go to class". 
• Lance will send an initial introductory "HELLO" text message to every Adult Education student, so make sure we have your accurate cell phone number and add Lance the Knight to your phone contacts.
• Text Lance questions any time, day or night! If you need more information or want to talk with a friendly human, then Lance can also send a message to program staff so someone will follow up with you during regular business hours. 

3. Remind Text Messaging

Remind is a simple and safe text-messaging tool that helps us communicate efficiently with our students by texting information and reminders related to your classes, campus and community events (like career fairs), and important deadlines (like scholarship application dates).

• Remind messages are not sent from personal cell phone numbers but through a number assigned by the Remind app.  An iOS and Android app is available.
• A smartphone is not necessary to send or receive Remind messages. However, you must be able to receive texts and standard text messaging rates apply.     
• If you cannot receive texts you can sign up to receive Remind messages by email.

4. Connectable

Connectable is LDCC’s all-in-one student information system that includes multiple ways for students to communicate with faculty and staff. Students can receive emails and text messages from their instructors, as well as send messages back and forth with staff via dashboard messaging.
