As a general rule, KCC will operate during snowy weather. The college will try to make closing announcements as far in advance as possible.The Iroquois County Satellite will close if the main campus closes. High school closing announcements govern KCC classes offered at those extension centers.

2 ways to register for notifications

KCC has implemented a free text and e-mail alert system. Subscribers receive emergency notifications via text, e-mail, or both. Messages are sent in situations including college closing due to severe weather. The service is free; however, cell phone providers may charge for receipt of text messages. To subscribe, go to http://www.sheriffalert.com/. The service is offered in conjunction with the Kankakee County Sheriff's Office.

The web site, http://www.emergencyclosings.com/ will post KCC closing information. Visitors to the site can register their e-mail addresses to receive a notification if KCC announces a closing or schedule adjustment.
