WEATHER POLICY
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 in remote areas outside SCC’s service area. If the college is open, no announcement will be made.
Announcements concerning college operation will be made by 6:30 a.m. via text alerts, emails & phone calls as well as on the local TV and radio stations, as well as social media outlets listed below. Announcements will also be posted to SCC’s webpage and relayed to all faculty, staff and students. 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 com- municated to occupants of each building on campus:
1. Delayed Start: If the college is on delayed start, the campus will open at 10 a.m.
Students should report to the class/lab/clinic they would be in at 10 a.m. on a regular
day. All instructional time missed in a delayed start will be made up.
2. College Closed: This means there are extremely hazardous conditions and no one
should report to work or class.
3. 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.
