Limestone is postponing its regularly scheduled commencement ceremonies in May, but the College is developing plans to still provide meaningful graduation experiences for its seniors.

Dr. Darrell Parker, Limestone’s President, announced on Monday, March 30, that his institution had to make the difficult decision similar to the one taken by numerous colleges and universities across the country as a result of the coronavirus health emergency.

Limestone students who are a part of the traditional Day Campus program can catch up on credits, lighten their course loads, or get ahead of their studies by taking part in the College’s online summer sessions that start this May at a discounted price.

The virtual courses are available in a variety of disciplines and are offered during two separate sessions. The first summer session runs May 4-June 26, and the second will operate June 29-August 14.

To support students and families impacted by the closures of SAT and ACT testing sites due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Limestone College has announced that it will make the test scores optional for admission consideration for Fall 2020.

The College, which will change its name to Limestone University this summer, decided to make the change for first-year students after SAT and ACT testing has been suspended due to the concern of the spread of the coronavirus.

March 23, 2020: 

Current Limestone College Day Campus students, beginning today (March 23), can reserve their spots for the upcoming summer sessions and the 2020-2021 academic year.

Those Limestone students are encouraged to log-in to their LC Portal to study available classes and build their schedules. Students are urged to sign-up as early as possible because classes will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
