Inclement Weather and Campus closures

North Closure Process  

Between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., if conditions warrant, the night custodial crew is contacted and asked to make recommendations regarding conditions on campus. This is followed by a conversation with security personnel regarding a survey of area streets for conditions. This information, along with weather forecasts and other available information, is taken into consideration. If the college schedule is to be adjusted, the Public Information Office is contacted and asked to provide information to the college community. The media and district policies allow us to make announcements of an emergency or closure only. Notification of being open is not permitted.
