What happens if MCC "closes" due to weather or other emergencies?

Dear Student,

If MCC needs to cancel classes or close due to hazardous weather conditions or another emergency circumstance, please be aware of the following points:

  • Face-to-face and remote classes are canceled.
  • Online classes proceed on schedule.
    • If you are an online student who faces a WiFi or power issue due to weather, please contact your professor. Accommodations will be made at the discretion of your professor. 
  • All virtual and in-person events and meetings at the Applied Technologies Center, Brighton Campus, Downtown Campus, and MCC career-technical sites for that day are canceled.
  • The Public Safety Training Facility remains open at the discretion of Dean Michael Karnes.
  • Classes are also cancelled for off-campus locations such as clinical placements (e.g., health care programs) and internships. 
  • The Guon Child Care Center on the Brighton Campus may also remain open at the discretion of the MCC Association.
  • Monroe County’s COVID-19 vaccination site at the Downtown Campus as well as the New York State Community Testing site and MCC’s COVID-19 Pooled Testing Center on the Brighton Campus are closed.
  • Changes in RTS bus schedules may impact your travel plans.

If classes are canceled or if the college closes, a notification will be sent to you via the MCC Alert system to your MCC email, posted on the MCC website (www.monroecc.edu) and shared via MCC social media channels. Closings are also shared with local media.

Based on your preferences and contact information maintained within the MCC Alert system, text and phone call notifications may also be sent to your phone.* Update your preferences online.

Thank you for your cooperation.
