SPRING 2021

EDUCATIONAL
PLAN
With the approach of spring term 2021, LBCC is committed to continuing actions that keep our students and
community safe while delivering high-quality education. To allow students the flexibility and safety they need during a
time of anticipated elevated COVID risk, the majority of courses will continue to be held remotely, either synchronously
or asynchronously. Most lecture based classes will be held remotely.. As allowed by local health authorities, the
majority of the lab sections will be held on campus, with proper physical distancing and cleaning protocols. Clinicals
and practicums in healthcare will be offered at the clinical sites, and follow the protocols set up by the sites. Student
support services are available spring term and will be provided remotely.
