Adopted June 28, 1984

PROCEDURE 6210B:
CANCELLATION OF CLASSES BECAUSE OF BAD WEATHER

Bad weather may cause classes to be canceled. The College President or his/her designee may cancel all classes. Individual classes may be canceled if bad weather prevents an instructor from arriving on campus. Students may also, at times, have to miss a class because of weather.

Canceling All Classes

The President has the authority to cancel all classes because of bad weather. In his/her absence, a designated administrator will make the decision.

Decision to cancel will be made as early as possible and announced to the public through local radio and television announcements.

Canceling Individual Classes

In the event of a major storm, when the College does not cancel classes, but travel is being restricted by local law enforcement agencies, a media announcement to that effect will be made. Students and staff may then use their own judgment regarding travel. Students will not be penalized for classes missed during these times.

An instructor may cancel individual classes if he/she is unable to reach the campus because of bad weather. The instructor must contact his/her Division Chair or the Vice President for Student Learning and then notify the College information desk. Students may call the information desk for a list of canceled classes. The instructor must complete an absence from campus form.

Student Absences

Any student who cannot attend a class because of bad weather is responsible for contacting his/her instructor(s) and making up missed work.
