College Closings
In the case of severe weather conditions, with consultation from the Safety & Security Specialist, the President will make a decision to close the College by 5:00AM.
If the College is closed:
- Each location will make individual recommendations to the President and will be closed based on individual weather conditions.
- The President or Vice President of Institutional Advancement will record a message on the College’s answering system with notification of the closing;
- Employees may be required to report to work. This decision will be made on a case-by-case basis.
- In the absence of the President, the senior officer will determine if closing is necessary and will begin the closing process.
- The Vice President of Institutional Advancement will notify the radio and TV stations.
Although the College cannot assure that any station will broadcast our schedule, these stations have been most cooperative in the past. JCC also offers you instant notification in the event of an urgent situation on campus or when the College is closed due to weather. The JCC Campus Alert System allows campus administrators to quickly communicate with students, faculty and staff in the event of an urgent situation on campus such as campus closings, severe weather or security situations.
