During the winter months, employees are asked to plan accordingly for changes in driving conditions so we may continue to teach classes and provide valuable services to our students. Every effort will be made to clear parking lots and sidewalks to keep the campus open.
In the event of a major winter storm, a decision to close campus will be made before 6:00 a.m. and will be posted on the college's website. This decision will be reported to the Public Safety Department, to the following radio and television stations, and a message will be sent to the MCLA pop up announce and web page.
Stations/web pages listed above will provide the College's operational status as one of the following:
Text messaging to cell phones is available for those who sign up; to receive closing information via text message, click here.
In the event that the College closes mid-day, all departments will be contacted by phone, email announce, and text messaging with the closing information. We will also utilize the classroom intercoms and phone voice mail system. Should the College close due to inclement weather, all employees designated as "essential" or "snow day" personnel must report to work.
In addition to checking the web site for class cancellation information, students
attending evening classes can also call the MCLA Cancellation Line which is extension
4399 for on-campus students and 413-662-5299 if calling from off campus. Faculty and staff should call
413-662-5284 for operational status.
Should you have any questions about this policy, please contact the Vice President of Administration & Finance directly at
