Traditional Telecourses
Telecourses
allow you to take college courses in the convenience of your
home. You check out videotapes from the LMC bookstore to study
at home, or view the tapes in the William Hessel Library on
our Napier Avenue Campus. Just as in a traditional college course,
you will need to purchase textbooks, complete homework assignments,
and take exams. Instructors are available by appointment, phone,
or e-mail. You will be required to attend five (5) sessions
on campus consisting of an orientation and four (4) exams.
For
more information about telecourses, contact Bob
Lane, Telecourse Coordinator, at 269-927-8100 ext. 5003.
