Weather Policy 

Message to NACC students from Dr. David Campbell, President:

Inclement weather may sometimes determine whether or not the college will be open. Northeast personnel have a number of sources of information available to decide if the college should be closed due to icy roads and snow and will be monitoring weather conditions very carefully.

If the college is to be closed for day classes, this information will be provided to LOCAL TELEVISION AND RADIO STATIONS so that they might give notification by no later than 6:30 a.m. If the college is to be closed for evening classes, this information will be made available to the media for release no later than 4:00 p.m. Information also will be on the NACC PHONE SWITCHBOARD RECORDING. Decisions to close will be made and released at the earliest possible time.

If these media and switchboard announcements have not been made, presume that classes will be held. When the college is open, the NACC switchboard will play the usual relaying instructions with no references being made to school openings or closings.

Depending on highway conditions, on some occasions the college may have a LATE OPENING. It may, for example, be announced that the college will open at 10:00 a.m. Under these circumstances students would go directly to their normally scheduled 10:00 a.m. class. In the event of an announced weather warning during classes, the college will evacuate classrooms to safe areas.

Be mindful that weather conditions in Northeast Alabama can change very quickly and that our students come from a diverse geographic area. On some occasions road conditions in most all locations of our service area may be fine, but dangerous in a few isolated places. Therefore, when inclement weather occurs, please use caution and your best judgment in deciding whether to drive to Northeast or not. Your safety and that of our staff is our number one concern.

NACC Weather Announcements:
 

Announcements will be made on (1) broadcast stations and (2) the NACC switchboard recorded greeting. If you call the NACC switchboard, please hang up after the recording so the phone lines remain open.
