• First Resort

The First Resort is LBCC’s student support and navigation center for both new and continuing students. Our staff and student ambassadors support you through all parts of your educational journey, helping you understand and navigate complex college processes. We connect you with academic, financial, career, and personal resources on campus, and most importantly, we listen to what you’re really asking. Let's find the way together.

The First Resort is Open on Campus and Remotely

We'd love to connect with you! Here are the ways you can get in touch with us:

  • Visit us in person on the first floor of Takena Hall (we're still open, despite the construction). Our open hours are Monday to Thursday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.  
  • Join our drop-in Zoom Room on Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The Zoom Room is a video chat room where you can ask questions and have them answered in real time by real students and staff. Note: video capabilities are not required. 
  • Email us at firstresort@linnbenton.edu. Our student ambassadors would love to assist with your questions and will reply to you as soon as they can.
  • Call us on the phone! Our phone number is 541-917-4483. You may need to leave a voicemail, but we will call you back as soon as we can.

Let's Find the Way Together

New Student Sessions

Start with the First Resort. All new students get their start with a New Student Session at the First Resort. After applying and being accepted to LBCC, each student will receive an email with an invitation to complete online orientation and schedule a registration appointment. These are one-on-one appointments with an Enrollment Expert who will listen to your interests and educational goals and match you with the courses that are the best fit for your first term. Our Student Ambassadors then help you find a schedule that fits your needs.

I'm Registered at LBCC, Now What?

Figure Out College Processes

Let’s figure it out at the First Resort. College processes are very complex and every student will encounter a process roadblock at some point. Maybe you’re receiving a notification that you can’t register and you're not sure why. Maybe you have some intimidating forms to fill out and you're not sure how or why. Call, email, or stop by and together we’ll figure out your next steps.

Connect to Resources

Find your way at the First Resort. Not going how you expected? Things piling up? There's a lot of information out there, and it can be tough sifting through the weeds to find the gems. We can connect you to local and community resources for housing, food, legal services, transportation, and much more. If we don't know the answer, we sure know who does.
