In the event of a major snowstorm or other emergency,<br />
students can tune in local radio stations that cooperate with<br />
the Philadelphia Emergency Communications Headquarters<br />
to find out whether or not the <strong>College</strong> is closed. DCCC’s<br />
radio code number is 470 for day classes and 2470 for<br />
evening classes.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> makes the closing or delayed opening<br />
decision available to the public in the following ways:<br />
• Broadcast on KYW 1060 AM radio<br />
• Broadcast on KYW Channel 3 television<br />
• On-line at KYW1060.com<br />
• Via telephone 24 hours a day ($.95 per call )<br />
by dialing 1-900-737-1060<br />
• In addition, school closing announcements are<br />
also made on the following Philadelphia television<br />
stations: WPVI-TV (6ABC), WCAU-TV (NBC10),<br />
and WTXF-TV (Fox29).<br />
Students may also refer to the <strong>College</strong>’s website www.dccc.<br />
edu for closing information<br />
There are times when off-campus classes held in facilities<br />
of other institutions are cancelled because of the closing<br />
of that particular facility. You may need to check with the<br />
facility or institution for up-to-date closing information<br />
if you have questions.<br />
