Inclement Weather Schedule

The College will close when weather conditions are such that driving is hazardous.

The following procedure will be observed for inclement weather conditions:

1. A message concerning school operation will be made by 5:30 a.m. and posted on the College website at www.abtech.edu. Students may also tune into local radio and television stations for announcements about day classes. A voice message will also be recorded on the College switchboard. One of the following three options will be used: (1) College closed for staff and students; (2) College closed for students, staff report at 10 a.m.; (3) College open at 10 a.m. for staff and students.
   
   If option 3 is used, curriculum students should follow the schedule below.
   
   Continuing Education classes scheduled to begin prior to 10 a.m. will commence at 10 a.m. Continuing Education classes beginning after 10 a.m. will follow their regular schedule.

   Important: If weather conditions become worse after the 6:30am announcement, an additional announcement closing school for the day will be made no later than 8:30am.
2. Closing or delaying the day programs does not automatically close evening classes. Announcements will be made on radio stations and the College switchboard no later than 3pm concerning the evening classes.
3. When weather conditions dictate early dismissal of the day or evening classes, the announcement will be made by telephone to each building on campus.
4. Commuters should exercise personal judgment concerning highway conditions regardless of College announcements, particularly those commuting from outlying areas.
5. Adjustments in the College calendar for days missed because of inclement weather will be made at the end of the semester.
6. Coman Student Center will open at 8am for early arrivals.
