Lewis-Clark State College administrators announced on Monday that the college would accelerate its transition from face-to-face classes to distance-learning. After two days of testing, on Monday and Tuesday, LC State will officially implement distance-learning instruction on Wednesday.
Faculty have already begun and will continue to communicate details directly to students for how instruction will continue for the remainder of the semester. While most courses will transition to distance-learning options, professors of classes that are largely dependent upon hands-on coursework, such as labs and trade-based technical programs, will work with students to ensure they receive the instruction they need in order to complete their assignments. Such accommodations will include the implementation of clean zone and social distancing protocols.
The college also announced on Monday that commencement ceremonies would not be held during the spring semester. Students will continue to complete course credits and those eligible to graduate this spring will receive their diplomas.
Alternative ceremony options are currently under consideration. (Lewis-Clark State College)
