INA — Rend Lake College is completely closing its campus, effective immediately.

RLC President Terry Wilkerson made the announcement Friday.

The only people that will be allowed on the campus are security and necessary physical plant inspection of equipment.

Wilkerson says all employees should move to completely remote and online work. All course instruction will be delivered remotely for the remainder of the semester. No one is allowed on campus without permission from an associate vice president or higher.

Wilkerson says this action comes with the safety of all employees, students, and the RLC community being the highest priority.
