As we enter the winter season, we want to inform you about possible decisions to cancel classes due snow or related weather conditions.  As a general practice, we cancel classes only under the most extreme circumstances.  Therefore, please expect that classes will be held as scheduled and prepare accordingly, such as planning for more travel time. 
 

On a rare occasion, classes may be canceled.  You may learn if classes have been canceled due to weather from the following sources: 
 

Student Information lines

Brainerd:  218/855-8245 or Staples 218/894-5303

If classes have been canceled, there will be a message stating so and provide additional information.  If there is no cancellation message, classes will be held as scheduled.

Some classes meet in local school district buildings.  If a school district cancels schools, CLC classes, both day and evening, located at this school will be canceled.  Contact the local school district to determine if the district canceled classes.  Students in ITV classes may receive special instructions. 
 

If day classes are canceled, the decision will be made no later than 6:30 a.m.

If evening classes are canceled, the decision will be made no later than 2:00 p.m. 

If classes are not canceled when there is snow or difficult driving conditions, each student must decide whether to attend class, based on her/his personal situation.  However, if classes are held and a student decides not to attend, absences will be handled according to the instructor’s syllabus.
