At Lake Michigan College (the “College”), the hours for operation change during the summer (“Summer Hours.”) Standard Hours of Operation during Summer Hours are Monday-Thursday 8 am-5 pm, with evening appointments by request. The College is closed to the public on Fridays during Summer Hours.

Summer Hours will begin the first week after graduation and will end two weeks before Labor Day; this means the College will reopen to the public Monday–Friday from 8am–5pm the week before Labor Day.

Staff must work a 40-hour week (or their normally scheduled number of hours) and office coverage must be maintained during Standard Hours of Operation.
Employees should work with their supervisor to determine the schedule that best fits the needs of the department, the College, and the employee. Supervisors are expected to allow flexibility with employee schedules if office coverage is maintained. Flexibility may include remote work on Fridays for part or all of the day and/or remote or on-campus work prior to 8 am or after 5 pm.

Summer Hours Exceptions

The South Haven campus, Berrien Innovation Center, Welch Center, Mendel Center, Fab Lab, and certain academic programs may have exemptions to Summer Hours Standard Hours of Operation due to programing needs.
