Inclement Weather

The College may delay or cancel classes due to inclement weather or other conditions. Any announcement canceling classes or delaying the beginning of classes will be made prior to 6:30 a.m., if possible. Students should check the JCHS webpage or call the College's main number at (540) 985-8483 for information regarding delayed or cancelled classes. Announcements may be made on local TV and radio stations when possible.


The Policy:



  • Scenario One:

Delayed Schedule, Opens at [whenever], or [#] Hour Delay:


Classes beginning and ending prior to the Delayed Schedule Opening Time will not meet, but may, at the discretion of the Program Director, be required to be made up at a later date.


If the delayed start time occurs during a class period, that class will meet from the delayed opening time until the normal class dismissal time. For example, if you have a class which meets from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and classes are delayed until 10:00 a.m., you should report to that class at 10:00 a.m. and it will meet until its regular dismissal time.



  • Scenario Two:

College Closed, or Classes Cancelled: All classes cancelled and all offices closed, including the Learning Resource Center and all administrative offices.



  • Scenario Three:

Day Classes Canceled: All classes scheduled to meet before 5:00 p.m. are canceled.  The Learning Resource Center will be closed until 5:00 p.m.



  • Scenario Four:

Night Classes Canceled: No classes meet after 5:00 p.m. The Learning Resource Center will close at 5:00 p.m.


Employees: Please review the Inclement Weather Policy in Faculty/Staff Handbook, located in the Faculty/Staff section of the website.
