The WCCC Safety and Security Department is responsible for compliance with State and Federal safety regulations on campus, as well as student, staff, and visitor safety. This includes ensuring safety compliance for campus programs, events, facilities, and instructional programs. The Safety and Security department is also charged with ensuring the security of students, staff, and visitors to our campus.
 
Students, Staff, and Visitors are asked to report any campus safety concern, injury, or accident to the Department.
 
The Safety and Security Department is located in the Business Office on the WCCC Campus.

Safety and Security Department Hours

The Safety and Security Department is open year round from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
 
The Safety and Security Department is closed on holidays, weekends and all other days that the campus is closed.

Alert Plus System

WCCC uses Instant Alert Plus to notify students and staff in case of emergency, school closures, delays, or class cancellations. Students and Staff may refer to the information provided in the right hand navigation bar to update their contact information.

As in the past, a decision to delay or cancel day classes will be made before 6 a.m. Decisions on evening classes will be made prior to 3:00 p.m.

All cancellations will be announced on:

• WQDY (92.7 FM)
• WCRQ (102.9 FM)
• WLBZ-TV (Channel 2)
• WCCC Web Site

As a matter of policy, classes will rarely be canceled. If the driving is difficult, it is most likely that the start of school will be postponed until 9:30 a.m. This delay will allow students and staff time to wait for road conditions to improve. In these instances, only the 8:00 a.m. and/or 9:00 a.m. classes will be canceled. The day will start with the 9:30 a.m. or 10:00 a.m. class. If classes are not canceled, students, faculty and staff are expected to make every attempt to hold classes as scheduled.

In all cases, students and employees are urged to exercise every discretion in deciding whether or not to drive to campus. Safety is paramount. However, students who feel they cannot attend class are nevertheless responsible for any work they miss. Your instructor will inform you of any work you need to make up. If your instructor feels it is necessary to cancel class, he or she will post some arrangement to make up the missed work on the bulletin board outside the Student Services offices or notify you in class.

If you do attend class, please drive safely and don’t forget your seatbelt!
