BAD WEATHER SCHOOL CLOSING:  

THE COLLEGE DOES NOT MAKE ANY DECISIONS ON CANCELING OF EVENING CLASSES UNTIL 3 PM.

Anything that you might hear before that time should not be taken as cast in stone.  Sometimes the radio stations take an announcement of school closing to include all class including night courses as being closed.   That is not the case with SMCC.  Again, they do not make that decision until after 3 PM in the afternoon.

To check if the college is closed, call the Storm Line at 207-741-5900 and listen to the recorded message. In the event that all classes are to be cancelled, the message will state the day of the week and the date that classes are cancelled.
 

Information on college closing because of weather can be found on their website at this URL:  http://www.smccme.edu 

College closings will also be aired on area radio and television stations.

Many radio and television stations post announcements about closings on their websites.
