Inclement Weather Policy

In the event of adverse weather, Mitchell Community College will announce delays, cancellation of classes or the closing of the college in the following media:

Radio:
WSIC (AM 1400) Statesville
WFMX (FM 105.7) Statesville
WHIP (AM 1350) Statesville
WAME (AM 550) Statesville

As adults, all MCC students must assume responsibility for deciding if road conditions are too hazardous to permit safe driving on public roads. Safety and good judgment are required in each individual case. When a decision is made to cancel day classes, media announcements will be made by 6 a.m. if possible. A decision to cancel evening classes will be made by 3 p.m. and announced as soon as possible. Announcements are made on the television, radio, and Mitchell Community College web site.

The statement “classes cancelled” indicates that MCC employees are expected to report to work or take annual leave. “College closed” means that neither students nor MCC employees need to report to work. If classes are delayed, classes will resume at the start of an instructional block. Cancelled classes will make up the work according to individual faculty plans.
