Lanier Technical College extends spring break one additional week

In light of the current health issues and concerns resulting from the coronavirus (COVID-19), Lanier Technical College is extending spring break until March 23, 2020. Classes will be not conducted from March 16-20, 2020. Also, during the week of March 16, the College will not provide any on-site services for students.

Lanier Technical College will move to an entirely online instructional delivery system for the week of March 23. Learning resources such as the Library, tutorial services, etc., will also be available online beginning the week of March 23. The College's online services such as the IT Help Desk, Galileo, BlackBoard, BannerWeb, Campus Logic, etc., will be accessible at all times.

The College made this decision to address the health concerns surrounding COVID-19 while minimizing the disruption of delivering educational services. Although a variety of factors influenced this decision, the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff is always the College's primary concern.

Lanier Tech's emergency management team meets daily and continues to develop answers, adjusts plans as necessary, and will communicate frequently. Please monitor the College's website at http://www.laniertech.edu/coronavirus-covid‑19-information-and-resources/

We will continue to inform and communicate regularly as we go through the coming days. Thank you for your understanding and support during these coming weeks."
