MATC seldom closes because of bad weather. Students are urged to use their own judgment as it relates to their situations considering distance, road conditions, safety and other factors, and determine individually if they should report as usual. Students will not be penalized if they cannot report to work or meet classes as scheduled. They will be given an opportunity to take scheduled examinations at another time. Provisions shall be made by teachers for completing any classroom work on a formal or informal basis.

During class time, emergency weather announcements will direct everyone to shelter areas, which are identified in most facilities. Individuals will be instructed regarding the location of these shelters and how to proceed if there is a severe weather emergency.
