Weather-Related Campus Closings

The College makes the determination to shift to remote teaching, learning, and working as early as possible so that students traveling to classes are made aware of the closing before they leave for school. This caution and care are also taken when making the decision to change the status once the school day has begun. If weather conditions deteriorate rapidly, a decision may have to be made on short notice, though the College makes every effort to notify students in a timely manner. One decision will be made for both the Waterbury and Danbury campuses. Find out more about the college's inclement weather policy
