What’s available on campus and remotely?
Polk State College entered Phase II of its Return to Campus Plan on August 17 with some functions returning to the Winter Haven and Lakeland campuses and most operations continuing to take place remotely.
The Winter Haven Administration (WAD) Building and Lakeland Technology Building (LTB) are open to students and visitors to access services including advising, registration, and financial aid. The College encourages students to access these services remotely and to only come to campus if necessary.
Before visiting campus, it is important that students review Be the Solution: Polk State College’s Return to Campus Plan and monitor their health. Anyone who is sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms is instructed to stay home and call a healthcare provider. When on campus, cloth face coverings are required.
