During the winter months, we get a asked a lot of questions on social media about whether or not Lancaster Bible College is closing due to inclement weather, usually of the snowy variety. Since we can’t field all of these questions in a timely fashion, we have great news: you don’t need to wait to hear back from us! We have several helpful resources for you to determine whether or not the school has a delay, closing or early dismal.

1. In the Morning, a Decision Will Be Made and Posted Online By 6 a.m. EST. In the Afternoon, a Decision Will Be Made About Evening Classes and Activities and Posted Online By 2:30 p.m. EST.

We do this to ensure you have to time to plan your morning or evening commute to classes and events.
