History
Lansing Correctional Facility (LCF) is the state s largest and oldest correctional complex for adult male inmates. At the close of 2013, LCF had a capacity of 2,405. The complex consists of the Central Unit, which includes an 11-acre maximum security facility, a 46-acre medium-security facility, and the East Unit, which is an 85-acre minimum-security facility. New facilities are being built on the existing site and the transition to new facilities is expected to be completed in 2020.

Donnelly College has a nineteen-year history of working closely with the Kansas Department of Corrections and the LCF administration to provide college-level educational programs to Lansing inmates. Since 2001, nearly 500 inmates have taken Donnelly courses and 23 have graduated with associate degrees.

Training Requirements for Faculty

Adjuncts teaching at the Lansing Campus will be required to attend a KDOC volunteer training course. Registration forms for this course can be provided by the site coordinator; specific dates and times are determined by the KDOC and notification for registration will be sent via U.S. mail. The letter will include instructions for contacting Lansing regarding questions about the training, including the possibility of alternative times. This course MUST be completed prior to the start of class. Teachers will not be allowed on site before completing this training.
In addition, Donnelly College requires all instructors to attend Virtus Training. Training must be completed within 60 days of your hire date to meet the conditions of employment. Refer to the VIRTUS section in the Employee Manual - LINK Safe Environment for Minors and Vulnerable adults.
Donnelly also hosts an adjunct orientation for all faculty teaching at the Lansing Campus.

Instructors will use this platform to post class materials and post grades. Furthermore, instructors must know how to communicate with the students through the messaging system in the learning platform.
