Analysis

Reading the policy

Middlesex Community College (Massachusetts) is a multi-campus community college. Its Weather & Emergency Notification system-overview page is institution-specific: the college states it alerts the community for inclement weather or campus emergency; channels include the website, phone line 1-800-818-3434, listed TV stations (Channels 4, 5, 7, 25), listed radio stations (WBZ, WCAP, WRKO), the Emergency Text Alert System via My MCC portal cell-phone enrollment, and the free MCC Mobile app for cancelations and notifications. Portal steps distinguish faculty/staff versus student paths for updating cell phone numbers used for alerts. This record documents the weather and emergency notification overview rather than a full ASR rewrite.
