Community colleges across Illinois are cautiously optimistic they will be able to bring back students for in-person classes this fall.
And while a few four-year schools in the Chicago area including Loyola University Chicago, Columbia College and DePaul University have announced that students will be required to be vaccinated before returning to campus, most community colleges do not plan to make vaccines mandatory.
After more than a year of nearly all remote coursework, most community colleges said they plan to offer classes four different ways this fall: fully in-person; a hybrid format involving a combination of both in-person and online instruction; virtual classes that involve online synchronous meetings; and fully asynchronous, online classes.
The project to enhance College of Lake County s Waukegan campus will be "a shining example of what we can achieve when we invest in our future," Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference Wednesday to commemorate the start of construction this week.
