RAVE Alerts and Campus Closures

Campus Closures

• When it is necessary to cancel classes due to inclement weather or other unusual circumstances, announcements of college closings will be made on kirtland.edu, and will be reported to local news and radio stations. In addition, the college website will reflect cancellations under “Urgent Announcements” and email/text messages will be sent via the Rave notification system.
• Note: It is possible for one campus to close while the other remains open. For example, Gaylord may close due to inclement weather, but Roscommon and Grayling may remain open. Pay close attention to closure messages to ensure you know which campus is closing.
• If local schools are closed where off-campus classes are held, Kirtland classes will also be cancelled.
• In district, off-campus classes will be cancelled if the main campus classes are cancelled.
• Nursing clinical courses held at clinical sites will be cancelled at the discretion of the instructor, and students will be notified through a phone call tree, set up the first week of classes.
