School Schedule and Closing
This program follows the academic calendar of Moberly Area Community College. Inclement weather may cause MACC classes to be cancelled or delayed. These closures will be announced on local TV and radio stations. We encourage you to sign up for hound alerts. Hound alerts are emergency alerts, campus cancellations, and weather-related information that are sent to your phone. To sign up for hound alerts go to mymacc.edu. on the home page, under stay connected, click the hound alerts link. Complete the sign-up form for text messaging and/or e-mail notifications.
If classes are delayed, you are to report to school at the announced time. MACC closures will be implemented on a campus by campus basis depending on the weather conditions in each city and campus site/location. The surgical technology program is part of the MACC-Columbia campus. For those of you who travel from other counties, simply use your best judgement when deciding whether to attend classes when inclement weather occurs in your area. However, keep in mind that if MACC Columbia campus is open the attendance policy will be applicable.
During clinicals, if the college is closed, clinicals will also be cancelled for the day. Do not report to clinicals if you feel the weather conditions are hazardous to your well-being or if the College is closed. Students not reporting to clinicals because of bad weather, while the college is open, are required to call the program director or clinical instructor 1 hour prior to the start of the clinical shift.
