Lake Michigan College is making it official, scrapping in-person, face-to-face classes for the rest of the current semester due to the coronavirus pandemic and the statewide Stay Home, Stay Safe order. LMC had been aiming to resume classes on April 14, but distance learning will continue through May 1 when the semester ends. Summer classes are also being impacted. The summer term will now run from June 8 to August 21, and all courses will be done through distance learning online. The semester had been scheduled to start May 11.
Course registration dates for the summer and fall semesters have also changed. Registration for veterans will open on Monday, April 27, and to all other students on Tuesday, April 28. Some courses with essential hands-on components such as skilled trades and lab sciences were unable to be conducted entirely online. To accommodate students enrolled in those classes, LMC plans to resume face-to-face classes on campus after the shelter-in-place order has been lifted. The adjusted summer term dates will allow time for making up those classes.
This story has been updated with new information from LMC that the summer term will start June 8 instead of June 9.
