Winter Weather and Its Impact on Class

A little snow did not close this school in Alaska 'Tis the winter season and severe weather conditions may prevail. Glenda Lantis, department program manager, offers the following.

“COCC rarely has to cancel classes due to weather conditions. Closure for snow may be inconsistent due to distances between locations. If your class is held in a local school and the school is closed, your class will be cancelled for that day or evening.

The same holds true for other community facilities such as the local Senior Centers. If weather and/or road conditions deteriorate during a class session, the instructor should exercise individual judgment.

Community Learning program staff make every effort to contact instructors and students during times of emergency or weather related closures, however, occasionally, staff have difficulty accessing contact information to do so.

Listen to the local radio for announcements, check our website www.cocc.edu or call 383-7700for a recorded message in regard to COCC Campus closures.”
