The following procedure will be observed
for adverse/inclement weather; however, regardless
of college announcements, commuters should
exercise personal judgment concerning highway
road conditions, particularly those from other
counties or remote areas. If the college is
open, no announcement will be made.
| a. |
| Announcements
concerning college operation will
be made by 6:30 a.m. on the local
TV and radio stations listed below.
However, if weather conditions
worsen after the 6:30 a.m. announcement,
an additional announcement closing
the college for the day will be
made no later than 8:30 a.m. Announcements
concerning evening classes will
be made no later than 3:00 p.m.
The following types of announcements
may be made: |
| • |
Delayed Start:
If the college is a delayed start,
the campus will open at 10:00
a.m. Students should report to
the class/lab/clinic they would
be in at 10:00 a.m. on a regular
day. All instructional time missed
in a delayed start will be made
up. |
| • |
Classes Canceled: This
indicates that the college remains
open and staff
should report to work at 10:00
a.m. and use extreme caution.
|
| • |
College Closed: This
means there are extremely hazardous
conditions and no one
should report to work
or class.
|
| • |
Early Dismissal:
Early Dismissal will be announced
when weather conditions dictate
the early dismissal of day or
evening classes. This type of
announcement will be made by telephone
to a designee in each building
on campus, who will communicate
the early dismissal information
to the occupants of the building.
