Emergency Campus Closure AdvisoryEverett Community College closure decisions are determined by conditions on the main campus. Notice of an interruption in College operations will be distributed promptly to area radio and television stations, posted on the EvCC website, and disseminated to the campus community through the 24-hour information line, switchboard, and division office notification. Maintaining College OperationsIt is the intent of Everett Community College to maintain operations in order to meet our obligations to:
Unless the campus is unsafe or utility systems are malfunctioning, we will strive to be open and operational. Employee and Student SafetyEmployees and students must judge for themselves the safety of traveling to the College. We ask all of you to make good decisions. In those rare instances when the College will be closed we will do our best to inform people in as timely a manner as possible. Every effort will be made to post closure information by 6:00 a.m. for day classes and 4:00 p.m. for evening classes. Faculty and staff are expected to notify their dean, director or supervisor of their absence in the event that they are unable to report to work. The college makes its weather-related schedule determination independent of local school districts. Staff and students are advised not to assume local school district decisions reflect the status of EvCC operations. StaffingIf the College is open and you are unable to report for work, you have the responsibility to call your supervisor/department. All departments are encouraged to have a back-up staffing plan for those times when the College is open but full staffing is not possible. Closure NoticeTo find current information regarding the status College operations students and staff are directed to the EvCC Web Site, www.everettcc.edu, or the main switchboard at 425-388-9100. Day ClassesIf conditions necessitate delay or cancellation of day classes, notification on radio and television stations will begin as soon as conditions on campus can be evaluated. A closure decision is based on conditions at the MAIN CAMPUS or a specific off campus site adversely impacted.
Evening Classes and EventsIf conditions necessitate cancellation of evening classes, events, or weekend activities, notice will be given to the appropriate college offices as soon as conditions warrant. Area radio and television will also be notified at that time. However, evening or weekend college closure announcements on radio and television are not broadcast as frequently or completely as morning reports. Use the College website www.everettcc.edu or call the campus switchboard at 425-388-9100 for the most up-to-date information. Classified StaffBecause of the potential for unsafe conditions, classified staff not required to report should remain off-campus and must use leave as follows:
Academic and Exempt EmployeesFaculty members and exempt staff who meet their contractual obligations when the college is closed will not have their leave balances affected. For further information call the EvCC Office of College Advancement, 425-388-9434. Page Last Modified: 10/13/09 17:46
