Decisions

The decision to cancel, delay, or dismiss classes and activities will be based upon the best information available regarding: the operational status of the campus – including heat, electricity, and/or snow removal; as well as the accessibility of the campus – including the availability of public transportation and street conditions in the City of Worcester. Conditions may vary greatly within the College’s service area and, therefore, when classes and activities are being held, students must ultimately determine if they are able to attend classes and if it is safe to do so. Students are encouraged to become familiar with the policies of their instructors regarding making up missed work.
