SPRING SEMESTER CLASSES STILL OPEN AT IOWA LAKES

Spring semester classes at Iowa Lakes Community College will begin Jan. 12 – and most classes still have openings.

According to Julie Carlson, Dean of Enrollment Management, students are encouraged to register as soon as possible since some programs fill up fast.

“The sooner a student registers, the better the chance that student will get a schedule that suits his or her schedule,” Carlson said.

Students may select from daytime, evening or weekend classes as well as online courses such as eCollege or Ed-to-Go courses. In addition, courses are available via College by Cassette, a series of classes available on videotape. Also, several Fast Track courses are planned for spring break and students may sign up now for those classes.
