Inclement Weather

In the event that inclement weather results in the closing of the host site, classes will be cancelled at all receive sites. If the host site is closed due to weather, a public service bulletin will be transmitted on most local television and radio networks. Barton will report the closing to the respective receive sites including school administration and/or Outreach Site Coordinators, depending on which classes are cancelled (College Advantage and/or Outreach).

Special Note: For Outreach classes, Barton officials will make every effort to contact the instructor(s) and students.

Should inclement weather result in the closing of the receive site, a NCDLN representative shall report the closing to the Associate Dean of Community Education, who in turn will notify the Coordinator of Extended Learning Programs and/or the Coordinator of Outreach and the Coordinator of ITV Technologies. In this situation, the host site will still continue to broadcast classes to any other receive sites(s) which remain open. The instructor may choose to videotape the class and forward it to the students at the closed remote site(s), via the appropriate contact person.

Special Note: If a receive site is closed due to weather and the host site is not, students will not be expected to attend class. Students are; however, expected to contact their instructor to discuss missed assignments.
