INFORMATION ABOUT » Emergency Preparedness » Campus Closures
Campus Closures

Individual Closures

In cases of closure due to weather-related emergencies such as snow, a decision and announcement regarding closure will be made by the individual campus, and relayed to the chancellor or the chancellor's designee.

Individual campus decisions and announcements on closures will also be made and announced by campuses in situations that affect one campus specifically (such as power outages, fire or restricted access due to police activity).


Combined Closures

In event of widespread or catastrophic emergency, a decision and announcement will be the same for all campuses and offices of the district, following discussion by the college presidents and chancellor (or their designees), or by the Emergency Communications Committee, as called for in the district-wide crisis communications plan.



Communicating Closures

Closure messages will be sent to students and employees who have signed up for the SeattleCollegesAlerts system. Messages are sent to college-issued email addresses, and can also be sent to additional personal email addresses and texted to mobile phones.

Closure messages will also be posted on flashalertseattle.net (formerly known as SchoolReport.org)

For both individual and combined closures, Public Information Offices throughout the district are able to post messages to both SeattleCollegesAlerts and the FlashAlert systems.

Closure messages may also be communicated, as circumstances allow -

  1. on college and district websites
  2. on radio and television
  3. on main campus phone lines
  4. through email including SeattleCollegesAlerts
  5. on social media

Note that campuses and offices are considered open unless specifically announced as closed on the delivery systems listed above.

The District Office follows weather-related closure directions for Seattle Central.


Closure Announcements

  1. Evening classes / offices — Conditions permitting, a decision will be announced by 2:00 pm
  2. Day classes / offices — Conditions permitting, a decision will be announced by 5:00 am
  3. Saturdays — Closure decisions and announcements will be made when campus facilities such as libraries and bookstores may be open and students and staff may be on campus for classes and workshops.
  4. Sundays — Closure decisions and announcements will also be made in the case of expected campus activity.
  5. Weekends during official breaks as defined by the district Instructional Calendar — Closure decisions and announcements will also be made in the case of expected campus activity.
