TECHCENTRAL
TechCentral is a website that provides centralized access to commonly used applications you may need such as Blackboard, LTC Email, MyLTC, Navigate, Password Reset Tool, and Technology Help Desk. The website can be accessed at gotoltc.edu/current-students/technology.
NAVIGATE AND STUDENT REFERRAL
Navigate is an online Student Success Management System that connects students to staff, counselors, faculty, and campus resources. Students can schedule appointments and receive important text messages from program counselors and instructors, access important school information and resources such as registration dates, campus events, scholarships, and tuition/fees information. Faculty and staff use Navigate as part of the college’s Early Alert System to submit student referrals that initiate student outreach for just-in-time student support. Students are encouraged to download the free Navigate app, or log in via TechCentral or gotoltc.navigate.eab.com/app/#!/authentication/form/ using their student ID and network password. For best results, open Navigate in Google Chrome. If you have any questions, please contact Lakeshore Technical College’s Help Desk at 920.693.1767 or visit helpdesk.gotoltc.edu.
OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER) AND ZERO TEXTBOOK COST (ZTC)
COURSES
ZTC classes have no textbook-related costs, including access fees for online materials. Instead of a publisher’s textbooks, ZTC courses use a mix of OER online textbooks, links to scholarly and professional websites, resources from our LTC library databases, and multimedia lectures created by LTC instructors. Some materials may have a low-cost option to print. There may still be other non-textbook mandatory costs associated with some of these sections (e.g., scientific calculators, laboratory materials and/or supplies, etc.).
If you desire a print copy of an online OER textbook, check in the LTC Library to see if they have a 4-hour checkout copy, or print a personal copy in the LTC Copy Center (L264).
PREFERRED & LEGAL NAME
A student’s legal name is the name that is listed on official college documents including, but not limited to, transcripts, certificates, and diplomas. Students who wish to use a preferred name on campus may request that Student Services staff add their preferred name to their student record at LTC.
Students with preferred names:
• will be listed by their preferred name in the student directory.
• will use their preferred name when setting up a username and password for the LTC network and email.
• will be known by their preferred name by the LTC Help Desk.
• MUST contact Student Billing to ensure that all refunds are processed according to their preference.
Please note that preferred names are not related to legal or official name changes. Students who wish to change their legal name should submit the Official Name Change Form which is available at Student Services or online at gotoltc.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/current-students/Official-Name-Change.pdf
PRINTING/COPYING
To print on campus, student printing accounts are loaded with $10 at the beginning of each semester (fall, summer, spring). Add money to your account at the Student Services Welcome Center or the Library desk. Any funds you add on will roll over to the next semester; the original $10 does not.
COPY CENTER
LTC’s Copy Center (L264) provides printing and mailing services including black and color copying, folding, cutting, scoring, laminating, spiral binding, postage stamps for purchase, and help with mailing needs. The copy center is able to print your OER (Open Educational Resources) course textbook. All mail delivered to LTC is considered the property of LTC and will distributed as determined by LTC administration. For more information, contact 920.693.1147 or copycenter@gotoltc.edu.
