The college also will contact local media with inclement weather announcements as soon as possible but cannot guarantee what times they will appear on radio or television stations. The following media will be notified by 5:30 a.m. for day classes or by 5 p.m. for evening classes (if bad weather develops during the day):

Accommodation requests should be made in a timely manner to allow for the determination of the need for accommodation and to have the accommodation in place for the start of the program/activity.
