Extreme weather conditions during the winter months may require Surry Community College to cancel or delay classes. According to college policy, weather conditions must be extreme before classes will be cancelled.
Two decisions are possible in the mornings:
- Surry Community College will be closed, or
- The college will delay its opening.
If no announcement is made, classes will operate on a regular schedule.
If classes are cancelled or delayed, faculty and staff workday is also cancelled or delayed, unless otherwise specified.

- A decision to close the college or operate on a delayed schedule will be announced no later than 7:00 a.m. (usually earlier). No announcement will be made if the college is to operate on a regular schedule.
- Any decision to delay or cancel will be available on the automated message of the main campus phone number 336-386-8121 and on the college website.
- A decision to close early will be implemented so that everyone gets the message as close to the same time as possible. No classes are to dismiss before receiving an official message. A decision to close means that faculty and staff may also leave after reasonably assuring all students in their charge have been released. Any exception to the early release of faculty and staff will be announced.
- If no announcement is made, classes will operate on a regular schedule.
If you have questions concerning this policy, contact a member of the college administrative staff.
