The general policy states that regular classes are held during bad weather conditions for the students and faculty members able to get to class without jeopardizing themselves. However, neither commuting students nor faculty are expected to take any personal risk to get to campus, nor will either be penalized in any way for missing class.\u00a0We encourage all commuter students to contact their instructors whenever the weather prevents them from getting to campus.<\/p>\n<p>The College may be closed in cases of severe inclement weather or other emergencies. Check our website homepage, your local news media, and our campus weather alerts when there is winter weather.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Want to change your housing status?<\/h4>\n<p>Have you decided you&#8217;d like to change your residency status? Commuters who desire to live on campus MUST come to the Center for Student Engagement in the Mund College Center to secure a Change of Housing Status form and a Housing Contract.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1214,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-51","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"section_menu":83,"language":"en","alternate_language_urls":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
