Wednesday, October 9 Update:

Thanks to the diligent work of our maintenance team, the electrical system's damage has been repaired, and systems have been brought back online.

With this news, we will reopen campus for resident students to move back into their residence halls on Thursday, October 10, at Noon. Meal service for students will resume in the dining hall, beginning with dinner on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

On-campus classes will resume on Friday morning beginning at 8:00 a.m.

Commuting students and guests may not return to campus until Friday morning.

Due to continued power issues, the student center will be closed until further notice, except for student dining. Meal service in the dining hall is limited to students only. Faculty and staff should make alternate meal plans until further notice.

All staff will return to regular work hours on campus on Thursday morning unless your supervisor instructs you otherwise.

We are very grateful to our staff for their dedication to preparing the campus for a safe return. We are excited to see you all again and look forward to moving forward with recovery from this historic storm.

    Closing or Delay Communication Channels:

    In the event of inclement weather, natural disasters or other emergency situations, the college uses e2Campus to quickly update the campus community. Our first priority is notifying students and employees. External notifications  will be made as soon as possible.

    All faculty, staff and students automatically receive e2Campus alerts via their SMC email accounts and text message.

    In the event of closing or delays, detailed information and instructions will be emailed to the campus community and, if appropriate, posted to this web page.

    The external SMC community will be notified of closing or delays via the front page of the college's website, the college's Facebook and Instagram accounts, and these local media:

    Please note that reporting closings to local media is automated and does not allow for customization or full information. Information may also run incorrectly. Always check SMC-owned sources for the latest, accurate information.
