1. The college will make a decision regarding delayed opening or closing independent of other agencies and schools. Do not assume that if the public schools are closed the college will also be closed. However, when public schools are closed, all AACC classes held at public school locations are canceled.
2. Any college decision to close may further differentiate between day and evening classes. (Evening classes are those beginning at or after 5 p.m.)
3. The college will make every effort to notify all radio and television stations by 6 a.m. If a separate decision is required for evening classes, radio and television stations will be notified by 3 p.m. If the college opens late, our announcements will identify an opening time, never a delay.
4. Our late opening time has been based on the time it takes to make the campus safe and also accommodate class schedules. When the college does open late, please do not arrive on campus prior to a half hour before the scheduled opening time.
5. Information regarding the college delayed opening or closing will be posted on AACC.edu and MyAACC.
The Department of Public Safety will not allow faculty, staff and students on campus until the college is officially opened or the Vice President for Learning Resources Management has advised that all the roadways, parking lots and sidewalks have been cleared.
Note: When Anne Arundel County Public Schools schedule non-emergency closings, AACC classes will meet.
