Campus Winter Weather Procedures

The colder temperatures have arrived and with it comes the threat of challenging winter weather.

The purpose of this message is to inform students and employees on how Durham College (DC) approaches decisions about campus closures and how we will communicate with you, should we be impacted by inclement winter weather. During most days of the winter season, DC’s campuses remain open and activities unaffected.

Should a campus closure occur, DC will post relevant information on the college’s campus status webpage, our social media accounts, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as the DC Mobile App, as quickly as possible.

Depending on the situation, we will also:

  • Email students and employees;
  • Forward messages to regional radio and television stations; and
  • Communicate via other means, as needed.

Please note: school board bus cancellations do not mean that DC will close.

At all times, regardless of weather conditions, DC reminds you to allow for plenty of time when coming to campus, as well as to travel with caution and care, especially if you are in an area heavily affected by the weather. If you are scheduled to be on campus and cannot get there, contact your supervisor or professor regarding your absence.
