SPRINGFIELD — In addition to traditional 16-week classes, Lincoln Land Community College is expanding the number of eight-week classes offered. They provide the same content, number of credits, services and support as 16-week classes, but on a different schedule.

“Eight-week classes allow students to focus on fewer classes at a time,” explains Alex Berry, director of student success. “A student may traditionally take five classes at the same time for 16 weeks. With eight-week classes, they can take those same five classes, but only focus on two for the first eight weeks and then three the next eight weeks.”

Many new eight-week courses are being offered on the Springfield campus and online. Most classes this fall at LLCC Outreach Centers in Taylorville, Litchfield and Jacksonville are being offered in eight-week sessions.

To learn more about and view available eight-week classes, visit www.llcc.edu/8-weeks. 

There is still time to register for fall. Eight-week classes begin Aug. 22 and Oct. 17.  

For new students, the first step is to apply. Current students may register for classes via LoggerCentral. Students may also visit or call the Springfield campus (217-786-2292) or LLCC Outreach Centers in Jacksonville (217-243-6699), Taylorville (217-786-2754) or Litchfield (217-786-3401).
