If inclement weather conditions require cancellation of classes or if classes will meet on the Snow Schedule, announcements will be made on the area radio and television stations listed below. The information will also be posted on the ECC website and the college phone system (636-583-5195).

Classes will be cancelled only in cases of hazardous road conditions, usually due to heavy snow or ice accumulation. The decision to cancel classes or utilize the snow schedule at the ECC locations in Rolla could be different than decisions made regarding ECC classes held at the main campus in Union, Southwest Area Center in Sullivan or Four Rivers Career Center in Washington. In some instances, evening classes may be cancelled although day classes were held.

In the event that snow or ice prevents East Central College from opening on time in the morning, but roads are expected to be passable later in the morning, the college may elect to use a Snow Schedule.

A snow schedule means the college will open later than usual, 9:15 a.m. for non-teaching staff (except maintenance), 9:30 a.m. for faculty and students. The snow schedule will be implemented as follows:
Monday-Wednesday-Friday - Any class scheduled to start before 9:30 a.m. will be cancelled. Classes that start at 9:40 a.m. will meet at the normal time. Classes will meet as scheduled for the remainder of the day.
Tuesday-Thursday - Any class that starts before 9:00 a.m. will be cancelled. Classes scheduled for 9:05 a.m. will meet for a shortened period beginning at 9:30 a.m. For the remainder of the day, classes will meet as scheduled.

ECC serves a broad geographic area, which often has diverse weather conditions. The College believes that students need to use common sense in making a decision whether or not to travel to campus for classes.
