Make the most out of your campus visit whether it is virtually or in-person. We can customize your visit according to your interests.
COVID-19 Update
Lake Forest College has lifted the masking mandate in indoor spaces across campus and has moved to a mask-optional policy. These changes are in line with the CDC guidance, including the guidance for institutions of higher education, and the Lake County Health Department. Masks may be required in certain situations. Please be prepared to put on a mask if requested by a Lake Forest College faculty or staff member while you are on campus.
We will continue to offer virtual experiences that can be tailored to your interests. You can find the most up-to-date information for the College at lakeforest.edu/coronavirus.
