CANCELLATION OF SCHOOL (read more)
The authority to not convene classes or to dismiss school early lies with the Academic Dean and the President’s Office. When severe weather conditions (ice storm, blizzard, etc.) warrant making transportation hazardous, and those conditions are known by 6 a.m., a “classes canceled” or “campus closed” announcement will be made through email, the occ.edu website, OCC social media, and on various local stations: KOAM-TV (7), KZRG (1310 AM), KODE-TV (12) and KSNF-TV (16). Students should not call local media outlets or OCC Security or personnel to verify school closing. Rather, watch for the announcement through one of the above media outlets.
