Inclement Weather and Emergency Information

Goldey-Beacom College encourages its students, faculty, and staff to use discretion in determining safe travel conditions in the absence of official college closings or cancellations.
 
In the event of inclement weather or emergency, please do one of the following:
  1. Check for a text message and/or email message from the gbcALERT Notification System.
  2. Visit the College's website, www.gbc.edu. Closing information is immediately posted on the top of the homepage.
  3. Call the College's main number, (302) 998-8814, after 6 a.m. for an announcement of closing.
  4. Listen to one of the radio stations listed below after 5:30 a.m. for an announcement of closing. The announcement will stipulate whether it is just day classes, day and evening classes, or both. If the announcement does not specifically state that the College is closed for evening classes, listen again after 3 p.m. If the College is not announced as closed for the evening, faculty and appropriate staff should report for duty.

 

When the College determines it is necessary to have a delayed opening due to inclement weather, class schedules will begin at that new time for that day. 

    • For example, when a two-hour delay occurs, and the College opens at 10 am, classes scheduled to start at 9:30 am will start at 10 am and end at the regular scheduled time for that class. If the class is normally from 9:30 am to 10:45 am, then the class would meet from 10 am to 10:45 am.
