SWCC

Policy:
On days when inclement weather or other emergencies threaten area highway conditions SWCC officials maintain close telephone contact with highway maintenance personnel, State Police, SWCC bus drivers, and with College Administration.
If, in the judgment of the College administration, conditions justify a decision to close or to operate on a late schedule, the radio and TV stations listed will be notified as early as possible.
If the decision is made to close the College due to road conditions, where possible, the announcement will specify whether or not all classes – day, night, main campus, off-campus locations, off-campus school locations - are included.
 
Buses depart campus at 4:30 PM on regular class days (Monday - Thursday). However, on days when classes meet on a late schedule,  buses will depart at 5:00 PM (Monday - Thursday).
 
Day, Night, Main Campus, Off-campus Locations, Off-campus School Locations
 
Main campus and off-campus locations (Haysi Center, Dickenson Cty Educational Center, Lebanon Education and Training Center and the Booth Center).
 
Off-campus locations at schools across the region The decision to close or to go on late schedule is based solely upon the inclement weather schedule decided upon by the individual school system.

.The inclement weather schedule for night classes depends upon whether the classes are being held at an off-campus center or at a school location (see above). If the decision is made to operate day classes on a late schedule, night classes will meet on a regular schedule unless otherwise announced. There is no late schedule for night classes – they will either begin at the regularly scheduled time or, if conditions require, will be cancelled. If night classes are cancelled only (conditions develop in the afternoon) the radio and TV stations listed will be notified of the cancellation as early in the afternoon as possible

As soon as the decision regarding operating changes due to inclement weather is made, the information will be posted with:
1. TV/Radio stations listed below,
2. on SWCC's homepage
3. on phone numbers listed below
4. text/email status alert sent to those who are signed up with the SWCC Alert system at http://alert.sw.edu 

Campus Switchboard at (276)964-2555
* The switchboard number will have a recorded message notifying callers of schedule changes as soon as they are made.

Since weather conditions often vary throughout the region served by the College, students should NOT assume that any decision which must be made by SWCC will always be the same as that made by the county school system in which the student lives.
 
Students with individual transportation problems related to weather conditions should meet with instructors upon their return to SWCC to make up any work missed if classes were held.
