Students may use LMC’s library or their local library as well as Waldo Library on the main campus. If you apply for a MichCard at your local library you can use many others in the state.

If you do not have access to that information or cannot reach him or her, you may leave a message for the instructor at our office and we will deliver that message at the earliest opportunity.

If the main campus in Kalamazoo is forced to close due to bad weather, WMU-Southwest will also close.

If the weather or road conditions in St. Joseph/Benton Harbor are considered too treacherous for safe local travel, WMU-Southwest may be forced to close, even if the main campus in Kalamazoo remains open. (Please note: University closing criteria is different from what is established by local public schools concerned about young children and bus transportation on rural roads.)

Faculty generally try to reach consensus with students in their classes to determine how best to make up the instruction that was missed due to unanticipated closings and cancellations.

NOTE: Listen to the local radio and television stations for announcements regarding closing due to inclement weather. Please use your own judgment when making a decision regarding travel to WMU-Southwest during inclement weather, even if classes are not cancelled.

You can pick up internship applications Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at WMU-Southwest. Please click the following link for more information on field placements www.wmich.edu/coe/intern/intern.htm
