Emergency Closing Procedures

Finding out About Delay or Closure

Classes at SUNY Schenectady will be held as scheduled unless noted on the College's home page, www.sunysccc.edu, and/or noted in a NY-Alert phone message and/or e-mail. If your contact information has changed since your registration and you wish to receive NY-Alert messages, be sure to update your profile via the Registrar’s link on home page, in person at the Registrar or Student Affairs officers or via https://alert.ny.gov/.
