Lone Star College announced that as of Aug. 3, it is delaying classes that require meeting in person until Sept. 8.

According to a press release from LSC, the fall semester will still begin Aug. 24 as originally planned for online classes. LSC is offering a combination of online courses, in-person courses and hybrid courses that meet both online and in person.

For hybrid courses, the in-person parts of the course will begin after Sept. 8 as well.

"We remain committed to ensuring the health and safety of our students, instructors and staff as our top priority,” LSC Chancellor Stephen Head said in the release. “Lone Star College will continue to monitor this evolving situation and will provide updates as needed."

Any LSC classes currently in session will continue as scheduled. Lone Star Corporate College and contract training classes will also continue. The return-to-building schedule for LSC employees originally scheduled for Aug. 3 will be delayed until sometime in mid-August.
