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 sent to student and staff e-mail and phones by
SCHOOLCAST. Information also 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. Decisions to close will be made and released at the earliest
possible time.
If these SchoolCast and media announcements have not been made, presume that
classes will be held.
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 will be made on
(1) NACC Alert/SchoolCast* messages sent to e-mail and phones belonging to
students and staff,
(2) broadcast stations, and
(3) campus-wide speaker system if classes are in session.
*You will be e-mailed information about your
NACC Alert/SchoolCast account early in your first semester. Keep
your contact information up to date!

If you do NOT see or hear an announcement, assume that classes WILL meet at the regular time.
