Policies & Procedures

Policy: 7407

The Board recognizes that it may be necessary to close the College, on a short-term or extended basis, for classes due to weather or other circumstances.

Should weather, pandemic, national, state, local or other emergency cause the College campuses to close for an extended period, the Board of Trustees will ensure protocols, methods, guidance, and communications are in place to provide a safe and secure reopening.

Upon reopening, after an extended period of time, the administration will work closely with faculty and staff to maintain a safe environment respecting the rights, safety, and health of all concerned while maintaining academic excellence and efficient business operations.

See Pandemic Response Plan which provides instructions for College closings and reopenings in the event of a pandemic.

The President or designee will develop and periodically revise administrative procedures, personnel assignments, and methods for informing the College community when such closings are necessary.
