    Weather Related or other College Closings

    When it becomes necessary to close or delay the opening of the College for inclement weather or other reasons, media outlets will be notified, a message will be posted on the College website and Facebook page, a voice message will be posted on the general switchboard number and the toll free number, and an emergency notification message will be sent through the SNAP warning system.

    Please be Aware: We are not able to monitor the weather situation on every street or highway within our service area, so we ask you to make the best and safest decision for your particular situation. If you feel that the roads are too dangerous where you live, then be safe and dont try to travel. Notify your instructor or supervisor as soon as possible.

    Messages include:

    Closed College/Campus/Center is closed

    Opening Delayed College opens after the delay (as stated on the announcement) and follows the normal schedule for the remainder of the day

    The decision to close or delay the opening of the College is generally made by 6:00 a.m. EST. Public Relations should be able to complete the notifications by 6:30 a.m. The following is the notification process:
