How do I find out when the college has been closed because of snow or emergency?

If the campus is closed due to weather, power outages, or other emergencies, you will be called as part of a “telephone tree.” This system breaks down when time is too short so if you suspect a closure, contact your coordinator or the Campus Security office at (206) 878-3710 ext.3218 for advice, or the switchboard for a recorded announcement. The local TV and radio stations carry such news, but have been known in the past to garble the message. Be sure to listen for the report for Highline Community College (not Highline School District). The College also posts closure information on the schools closure page on the web at http://www.schoolreport.org/. Be sure to look for the College, not the school district’s status. Every effort is made to post information before 6 am.
