    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.
