Instructors,
As we head into the end-of-year stretch (and whatever holidays you celebrate), this is a friendly nudge to wrap up a few key items before things slow down campus-wide. ATC support availability will become limited beginning December 22nd, and you’ll find the full schedule and closure details at the bottom of this email.
If you’re planning meta course shells for winter term, please submit those requests as soon as possible. Early requests help avoid last-minute scrambles—on your end and ours.
If you need access to a previously archived course (for grade review, reference materials, or planning), please submit archive restore requests ahead of the break. Turnaround time will be notably longer.

Reminder: New MyLane Interface Rolls Out Next Week
MyLane is transitioning to Ellucian’s latest version of Banner (v9) with a refreshed interface and updated dashboards for employees. The update goes live Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Your MyLane URL (my.lanecc.edu) and login credentials will remain the same, though the interface will look different.
3 resources to help you get oriented:
- Introduction to MyLane for Faculty ATC Overview (with images and faculty-focused notes)
- IT MyLane 8 → 9 Transition FAQ (technical details + transition info)
- Step-by-step Help Guides (timesheets, finance, dashboards):
If you still have questions after reviewing these resources, please contact IT (helpdesk@lanecc.edu) for assistance.
💥 New to LaneCC?
- MoodleHQ "Teaching Basics" YouTube Playlist – Our quick “go to” resource for those who need to get started ASAP. Watch a few videos and then ask for ATC assistance when you need it.
- Moodle Academy teaching “basics” is being regularly maintained and has the most updated support documents and training resources.
- Linkedin Learning Course “Moodle Basics” — not quite as dry and a bit friendlier than MoodleHQ's trainings. If you're already logged into classes.lanecc.edu you can jump directly to the Linkedin Learning Training without signing in.
⚠️ Moodle: Maintenance Update v4.5 MP3 - No substantial Changes
Our Moodle hosting provider will be applying a software upgrade between the hours of 12:30am-2:30am Pacific Standard Time (PST). During this upgrade, classes.lanecc.edu may be unreachable and/or slow to respond. Actual downtime is often less (typically 2-3hrs) than the hours allotted, but please plan accordingly. Read the OpenLMS Release Notes for a list of security updates and minor fixes.
