Weather Related Emergency

Cancellation of classes, delay of opening of school, or closure of College offices.

Experience suggests that circumstances - for example, a flood or a monumental winter storm - which require the cancellation of classes, a delay in the opening of school, or the closure of College offices occur very rarely.  In the event of such an occurrence, any decision to cancel classes, delay the opening of school, or close College offices will be communicated on the following broadcast outlets:

Television

   KAIT-TV, Jonesboro (Channel 2 on Batesville Cable)

AM radio

    KAAB-AM, Batesville (1130 AM)

   KBTA-AM, Batesville (1340 AM)

FM radio

   KZLE-FM, Batesville (93.1 FM)

   KIYS-FM, Jonesboro (101.9 FM)

   KWOZ-FM, Batesville (103.3 FM)

Students are requested to tune in to these broadcast outlets for information about the possible cancellation of classes or closure of school.  Please do not call the College switchboard with inquires about school closings.

In the event that the College remains open but adverse weather conditions seriously disrupt area roads:

1.  Non-residential students who feel that they cannot get to school safely should inform the Student Life Office (307-7314) or the Dean of Faculty's office (307-7202).

2.  Employees who feel that they cannot get to work safely should inform their supervisors or department heads.
