The MCC service area transcends the greater Kansas City area and region. Our students and employees travel extended distances to report to work and attend classes.
Due to significant seasonal weather events that impact our region and district, MCC has established an inclement weather protocol to identify individual roles and responsibilities, and determine if and when classes in the district should be cancelled or delayed.
The single most significant concern in making this decision is the safety of our students, employees and guests as they travel to and from their MCC destination.
Inclement weather protocols
-
The closing of all campuses, district facilities, cancellation of classes and all student activities district wide and off-site (away games, etc.).
Note: The decision regarding students reporting to clinical during inclement weather is at the program's discretion as outlined in the program handbook and based upon accreditation standards.
Information center and virtual enrollment center open.
