Off-Site Centers
Lakeland offers credit and noncredit courses at three offsite centers located in Madison, Painesville, and Willowick.
Classes offered at the off-site centers are the same as those
in the regular Lakeland curriculum and are taught by the
same pool of full-time and part-time faculty. Community
learning courses are also offered, providing residents of the
service area an opportunity to enjoy a wide assortment of
noncredit, non-grade-based learning experiences. Courses
are offered during the fall and spring semesters with limited
offerings in the summer. Courses are conducted throughout
the day, evening, and Saturday mornings.

off-site centers for any credit or noncredit courses offered
by Lakeland at any location, avoiding the necessity to do
so at the main campus. Students can take advantage of
expanded services at Lakeland East and Lakeland West
where they can pay tuition
