Email Scams – Protect Yourself
Email phishing attacks can expose you to financial loss, a breach of your privacy. To protect yourself from these scams, it is important to be on the lookout for suspicious emails and keep your login information secure.
Lorain County Community College assigns LCCC email accounts to all students enrolled in credit courses. Be sure to check your email often as we have replaced many postal mailings with student email communications. Your student email is our official form of communication from LCCC.
LCCC student email accounts are powered by Google, a leading provider of email services for higher education. Features of your email account include:
- Over 7 GB of storage.
- Ability to forward your LCCC email to your personal email account.
- The Google Calendar manages your appointments and can be used to invite friends and classmates to meetings and events.
- Google Docs enables editing and online storage of documents, spreadsheets and other file formats.
- Built-in chat
