Potential college students who missed the start of fall semester have two additional opportunities to enroll in online college courses this fall, thanks to a late start program offered by Lake Superior College.
Lake Superior College has scheduled three online classes beginning on Monday, September 25, and three more beginning on Monday, November 6. The courses are widely transferable and also apply as electives in many Lake Superior College programs. All of the courses are being offered via the Internet through Lake Superior College's Virtual Campus, providing maximum flexibility for students.
According to Barry Dahl, Lake Superior College's vice president of technology and the Virtual Campus, the late start classes give students a chance to get a head start on their college careers. "Students who weren't ready to make a commitment at the start of term can now take advantage of this opportunity to complete required courses and start working on their degree," he said.
The first set of three courses begins on September 25, 2006. They are:
Courses beginning on November 6 are:
School officials warn that because the courses are offered in short six-week terms, the content is covered in less than half the time. "That means that taking six credits will require about the same daily workload as 15 credits during a 15 week semester," Dahl explained.
Information about the late start program and links to registration information are available at www.lsc.edu/latestart/ or by contacting the Lake Superior College Virtual Campus Center at (218) 733-2030 or virtual@lsc.edu.
Lake Superior College is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and a leader in internet-delivered learning, with more than 135 online courses available and 1800 students enrolled in web-delivered courses this fall.
