Current Status
LCC is currently open and operating as usual.
Stay Informed During an Emergency
If the campus closes due to inclement weather or other emergency, LCC uses the following channels to get the word out (pending availability):
- LCC website (banner at the top of every page)
- Social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
- Canvas
- Text messages
- Regional media, including Portland television stations
- Emergency digital clocks in every classroom (lights and audio during emergencies)
When the college is closed, it means there are no classes, events, or other activities. Students and employees should not come to campus.
Use the LCC Directory to find contact information for your instructors or other college personnel if needed.
Individuals who work on campus should watch their email during a closure for details. When in doubt about whether or not to report to work, please get in touch with your supervisor.
If classes are canceled but offices are open, some campus events and activities may be held depending on conditions. To find out about specific events, check the LCC website and/or our Facebook page for exceptions to the closure.
Refer to the LCC Athletics website for information about athletic events.
Not sure if the campus has power? Check the Cowlitz PUD Outage Map.
To learn more, please refer to the LCC Emergency Handbook, which contains LCC’s Crisis Communication Procedure and process for closing campus (in inclement weather, we make initial notifications about canceling day classes by 6 am and evening classes by 2 pm).
Please put safety first when making any decisions about traveling in inclement weather or when other hazardous conditions are present!
