Peirce at Lackawanna College Students,

We are writing to notify you of the key instructional changes that will impact the upcoming Peirce at Lackawanna College Sessions 5. No action is required at this time; however, we are providing you with this advance notice, so you can be prepared for the resources that will be sent in the coming weeks.  

• Starting with Session 5 (beginning May 11, 2026), Peirce at Lackawanna College courses will utilize Microsoft Teams for live virtual instruction instead of Zoom. This aligns with the video conferencing platform currently used at Lackawanna College. 

This notification is intended as an early notification of this upcoming change. In the coming weeks, we will provide detailed resources on this transition, clarify the specifics of the change, and provide additional guidance. We will share more detailed information as we get closer to each session’s start date.

Thank you,
Post-Merger Integration (PMI) Work Group

Lackawanna College and Peirce College have announced that they intend to merge, based on the shared belief that both institutions are better and stronger together and aptly positioned to help more residents of Pennsylvania transform their lives.

Pending the required approvals, Peirce will become part of Lackawanna College.

The combined institution will be the largest private, nonprofit open enrollment institution in Pennsylvania at the undergraduate level, with an expanded geographic and programmatic presence to serve students in eight locations and online. The partnership will leverage Lackawanna’s dedication to degrees, certificates and innovative learning experiences with Peirce’s commitment to career-focused, flexible academic programs and student services designed around the unique needs of busy adults, empowering learning at all stages of life. The institutions will leverage their core competencies and expand programs to better serve more students throughout Pennsylvania, including adults and other nontraditional learners, and increase the pipeline of diverse talent through education and workforce training.
