Communication
Lamar State College Port Arthur uses a student’s college email address for official communications with students. In some instances, telephone messages are broadcast to select student groups. Examples of information communicated to students include policy announcements, emergency notices, event notifications, financial aid information, schedule changes, course syllabi and requirements, correspondence between faculty and students, and other important information. Correspondence is emailed to the student's official LSCPA email address.
In order for students to receive official email communications and telephone communications, students must maintain a @lamarpa.edu email account. It is strongly recommended that students monitor their @lamarpa.edu email account on a daily basis.
Students must also report any changes in telephone numbers and mailing address to the Admissions Office. Students who need assistance with their email account should contact the Help Desk Coordinator (409-984-6150).
Emergency Communication
The College uses the Emergency Communications System (eLERTS) to notify students, faculty and staff about emergencies or dangerous situations that are believed to be an immediate threat to health or safety, including school closures related to weather or other circumstances.
In the event of an emergency or need for the College to make a mass notification, all students, faculty and staff will be contacted electronically (emails and/or phones and/or text message). Phone numbers and email addresses in the College system are automatically enrolled in the eLERTS system. When activated, the Emergency Notification System will send email, text messages and automated phone calls. If you want to modify contact information you must do so through your My.Lamarpa.edu account.
Warnings also are released to area media by the college Public Information Office and are posted on the front page of the college website (www.lamarpa.edu).
