Closing and Delays

In the event of adverse weather, the College will determine whether to delay classes, cancel classes or close. A decision will be made by 6 a.m. for day classes and by 3 p.m. for evening classes. You can check the Mitchell website, Mitchell Facebook page, or call (704) 878-3200. Information will also be provided to local television and radio stations for posting and announcements.

Classes Delayed means classes will not meet during the time of the delay. Students and faculty will resume a regular schedule at the time announced the College will open. That means late openings will start with classes normally taught at that hour. For examples, in the case of a two-hour delay:

Classes that run from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. OR 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. would be canceled.

Classes that run from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. would start at 10 a.m.

Classes Canceled means no classes for students. Employees have the choice to report to work or take annual leave.

College Closed means neither students nor employees are to report to the College. The College will decide how canceled classes will make up the work.

Students, faculty and staff must assume responsibility for deciding if conditions are too dangerous to allow safe driving on public roads.
