In the event of a snow, storm, or emergency closing WBZ 1030 (AM) radio and WBZ-TV Channel 4 television will be informed. Every effort will be made to ensure that announcements are made beginning with the 6:30 A.M. newscast, but the announcement may be delayed by the station. Members of the community who commute from long distances are advised to delay their departures until complete cancellation information is available.

A voice mail message will also be broadcast over the College’s telephone system. Off campus and part-time students can call (617)-521-3INFO, and select the menu choice for school closing information.

Please do not call the Department of Public Safety to ask whether or not the College is open. During snow, storm, and emergencies the Public Safety Dispatcher is extremely busy, and calls of this nature may impede the handling of serious problems.

Judgments for weather related closings are based upon the best information available from the Boston office of the National Weather Service.
