The web site and college information line are updated immediately following a decision to modify the college schedule. The media is also notified immediately. The decision to modify the schedule is based on multiple sources of information and will be made as early as possible.
Notifications are also available through text and email alerts.
When the college delays opening, classes that have 50 or more minutes of meeting time remaining following the opening time will meet. A two-hour delay in the morning means a 10:00 a.m. start time, since Sinclair begins normal daily operations at 8:00 a.m.
Examples:
When the college announces a 2-hour delay (opening at 10:00 a.m.), classes that ordinarily meet from 9:00-11:30 a.m. would meet because more that 50 minutes of instructional time (i.e., a full class period) remains.
A class normally held between 8 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. would be canceled.
When administration closes the campus early, all activities should be terminated at the announced time.
The faculty chair and/or clinical coordinator must work with the clinical site to dismiss students as soon as possible without compromising patient safety/care. If a closure is announced for 4:00 p.m. and it takes until 5:00 p.m. to ensure the patients will be properly cared for, that is when the dismissal should occur. If everything can be handled by the time of the scheduled closing, students should be dismissed then.
