Temporary LMC Office to Open in South Haven

BENTON TOWNSHIP, MI -Lake Michigan College will begin staffing a temporary office in South Haven City Hall at 539 Phoenix Street beginning July 1 in anticipation of the opening of the new South Haven campus in August.

LMC staff will be available at the temporary site to help students register for fall classes. from July 1 through August 14 on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. The office will also be open two Saturdays, July 12 and August 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"We want to make this easy for anyone who wants to take classes. Having class registration services readily available before the campus opens is a high priority for us," states Janice Varney, executive dean of the South Haven Campus. "The City of South Haven has been instrumental in helping us make this happen by providing space to the College during the summer."

Prospective and returning students will be able to complete an application for admission, apply for financial aid or scholarships, work with a member of the LMC advising team to build a class schedule, register for classes, and order textbooks.

Fall classes begin August 25 at the new campus as well as at LMC's three other locations in Benton Harbor and Niles. Those wanting more information about fall classes can visit www.lakemichigancollege.edu or call 800-252-1562 ext. 5171 or 269-470-4415.
