LCCC holds virtual information session

Lehigh Carbon Community College will hold a virtual information session for parents of prospective students interested in enrolling for the fall semester at noon July 28.

“LCCC the Possibility: Maximize the Fall” will address questions parents have about the options LCCC offers students who are considering staying close to home. It will also be of interest to parents of incoming students.

Representatives from enrollment services, financial aid, advising and academics will be available to answer questions. At the session, parents will learn about courses and programs, faculty expertise, modes of delivery and the transferability of credits to four-year universities.

Throughout the summer, students can make appointments to visit with an academic adviser, take a placement test and talk with a financial aid representative. Services are also available by phone or virtually.

The college is practicing social distancing and requires masks to be worn on campus.

Most classes in the fall semester at LCCC will be offered in an online or remote format. Classes begin Aug. 22. Remote classes provide a live, real-time, virtual classroom experience for students who do not attend class in person. Online classes provide course content, assignments, and all assessments within the Canvas learning management system accessible through the student’s mylccc portal. Certain hands-on or equipment-based courses will include a face-to-face element, including courses in art, lab sciences, health care and technology.
