I. Regulation

The College may be closed or classes canceled due to inclement weather or other emergencies. The decision to close the College or cancel classes will be made by the President or other administrator designated by the President. Such actions will not always coincide with announced closings of local public schools, other local colleges, or local business entities.

II. Guidelines

A. When the College is to close or classes are to be canceled, prompt notice will be given to local radio and television stations so that announcements can be made.

B. When the College closes, all classes at all locations are canceled.

C. When local schools close, all CPCC classes in those schools are canceled.

D. Late openings will start with classes normally taught at that hour.

E. When the College is closed, certain personnel may be expected to report for work prior to the reopening. Those personnel will be informed in advance by the appropriate unit vice president. Reporting of absence is not required for employees who are not designated to report to work.

F. When the College is closed, non-exempt personnel who are required to work shall receive compensatory time as defined in Section 4.13 at a later date approved by the employee's immediate administrator.

G. When the College is closed for inclement weather or other emergencies causing an instructor to miss classes, the instructor will be paid for the classes missed if he/she is paid by the course.  If an instructor is paid on a per hour basis and the actual class time is not made up, the amount of compensation and the reported student hours in membership must be adjusted accordingly.

H. Division directors will work with all instructors to make up classes.
