08/28/2020 13:43 PM: 8/28/2020: Classes to resume September 8

While we are eager to return to classes as soon as possible, the reality of the aftermath of Hurricane Laura makes it clear that we must give our students, faculty and staff the opportunity to more fully recover from this devastating storm.

With this in mind, Lamar State College Port Arthur administrators have decided to resume classes on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.

Staff is planning to return to campus Wednesday, September 2, to continue registering students for the Fall 2020 semester.

We will continue to monitor the situation in the coming days. Watch for updates via your LSCPA email, the college’s social media accounts and website (www.lamarpa.edu) as well as local media outlets.

We wish you and your family a speedy and safe recovery.

Lamar State College Port Arthur was very fortunate during Hurricane Laura, suffering very little damage to campus. Because of that, LSCPA is able to resume classes Monday, August 31.
 
This extra time will also allow students and their families the opportunity to have power and internet connections restored at home in the following days.

Late registration for the Fall 2020 semester will also take place starting Monday, August 31.

We look forward to seeing you next week!
