Course and Class Cancellations

The college reserves the right to cancel any course due to insufficient enrollment or for other reasons when such action is deemed necessary by the college. Every effort is made to schedule required classes so that a minimum of cancellations is necessary.

Instructor Illness

When a class is canceled due to the illness of an instructor, a notice is posted on the classroom door as soon as possible. Questions about class cancellations should be directed to the department head (for credit classes) or the continuing education and workforce development division (for non-credit classes).

Inclement Weather

For college closing and security alerts, Wor-Wic uses Omnilert, a web-based universal notification system, to send alerts to individuals who sign up for this free service. Anyone who creates an Omnilert account can register to receive announcements via text message, email and/or phone call.

In addition to Omnilert announcements, college closings and delays are posted on Wor-Wic’s website and the college’s Facebook and X accounts. Closings and delays are also called in to WMDT and WBOC-TV.

If the college is closed due to inclement weather, all classes held on- or off-campus are canceled. If the college has a delayed opening, students should report at the time announced if one hour or more of the class remains. If less than one hour remains, the class is canceled. This also applies to students who are scheduled to report at an off-campus clinical site – unless alternative instructions were included in the class syllabus. Online classes continue as scheduled.

If the college is open and the public schools are closed, classes held in the public schools are canceled. Students enrolled in classes held at any of the senior centers in Worcester County should call 410-632-1277 after 6:30 p.m.

If classes are not canceled or delayed for inclement weather, students are responsible for making their own decisions based on their judgment of local road conditions.X
