Inclement Weather PolicyMuskegon Community College intends to be in full operation every scheduled class day. However, during extremely inclement weather, when it appears that the interests of all concerned will be best served by closing the College, appropriate announcements will be made over local radio and television stations. All announcements should be noted carefully inasmuch as only morning, afternoon or evening classes may be canceled. Announcements will be made over the following radio and television stations: This list was updated January 8, 2008 and supersedes all previous lists. Radio Stations

The closing of on-campus courses may not affect off-campus classes. Muskegon Community College classes taught off-campus will be canceled based upon cancellation of classes by individual schools; i.e., Grand Haven, MCC Fremont Campus, Newaygo, Whitehall, etc.
Classes for Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, and Western Michigan University may be canceled as determined by the individual campus. They may be canceled even though MCC remains open. The University offices can be contacted directly at 777-0598.
Severe WeatherWhen warned of a tornado or other severe weather conditions, staff and students should proceed to shelter areas outlined on the Severe Weather Poster, which is posted in each room of the campus. No one should leave the building under these circumstances. The President is responsible for making the decision to have classes or to close during periods of adverse weather conditions or other emergencies. Every effort will be made to reach such a decision in time to inform radio stations, the MCC switchboard and maintenance and security personnel as early as possible. The decision will be based on the best information possible from weather forecasts, conditions on campus and in parking lots, and the status of roads over which students, faculty and staff must travel. An announcement in the morning closing the College during the day does not necessarily mean evening courses and activities have likewise been canceled. A separate decision, usually made prior to 2:00 p.m., will be announced concerning evening credit and community service classes. An announcement, made during the day that evening classes have been canceled does not mean that the College is closed as of the announcement. Staff should work until their regular shift is complete. If MCC cancels courses on campus but not at one or more off campus sites, appropriate radio announcements will be made. |
