Transitioning to an Open Campus

Lake Land College is pleased to welcome students and visitors to campus as we transition to a more traditional campus environment. Students can look forward to engaging in campus activities and selecting from in-person, virtual and online courses.

Under the Lakers Flock Together plan, faculty and staff are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive a vaccine. We are hopeful that our students will do the same.

We will continue to practice social distancing, wear masks that cover the nose and mouth and complete the self-screening form when visiting campus.

We are committed to ensuring the safety of employees, students and visitors, while providing the best possible learning experience for students. The Lake Land College Return to Campus Plan outlines the precautions and protocols we will follow for each phase of the Restore Illinois Plan.
