Information about FRCC delays & closures
Weather or emergencies may require FRCC administrators to delay or close individual campuses or the college periodically. When delay/closure decisions are made it is important to know how to obtain accurate and timely information.
How to Obtain College Delay/Closure Information:
Students, staff and faculty are encouraged to use the following resources to obtain delay/closure information.
- Sign up on FRCC’s ConnectED messaging system for immediate email and SMS (text) notifications. This is our recommended option. Students, go to the Students tab on eWOLF and find emergency notification information in the General Information box. Staff, go to the Resources tab on eWOLF.
- Visit www.frontrange.edu. Delay/closure information will be posted on the home page.
- We also will post to our Facebook and Twitter accounts, so friend us and follow us.
- Consult Denver television and radio stations or their websites. Keep in mind that FRCC may be one of hundreds of schools and businesses to notify these media. We cannot guarantee the timeliness of their reports.
How to Interpret Delay Information:
When the decision is made to delay the opening of a campus, (Boulder County Campus 10 a.m. start time, for example) the message means that all classes having a start time before 10 a.m. are canceled. All classes with a start time of 10 a.m. or later will run as scheduled. Staff without duties related to the delayed opening should report to work when the campus is scheduled to open.
When the decision is made to close one or more campuses earlier than normal (All Campuses closing at 7 p.m., for example), the message means that all classes having a start time before 7 p.m. will run. Classes scheduled to end later than 7 p.m. will end early to comply with the 7 p.m. closure. All classes scheduled to begin at or after 7 p.m. are canceled. Staff should leave when the campus closes.
Delay/Closure Information by Campus:
Mother Nature can be fickle in Colorado, and other emergencies, such as extended power losses, may only affect one campus location. Our messages will specify whether this is a campus closure/delay, a multi-campus closure/delay, or a college-wide closure/delay.
