College closing alerts:

The College is currently open during regular posted hours.
Goldey-Beacom College encourages its students, faculty, and staff to use their own discretion in determining safe travel conditions in the absence of official college closings or cancellations. Students should check Campus Web for updates from faculty.

Up-to-date information on weather cancellations and delays are  automatically sent to students, faculty, and staff GBC email addresses. Everyone is encouraged to login to our gbcALERT Notification System to confirm the contact information and add cell phone numbers to receive the alerts via text messages or alternate email addresses. Goldey-Beacom College provides both emergency notifications and updates through text messaging and email. It is aimed at improving safety on campus and enables the College to provide a rapid delivery of messages.

  In the event of bad weather, please do one of the following:

  1. Check for a text message and/or email message from gbcALERT Notifications.
  2. Visit the College's website, www.gbc.edu.  Closing information is immediately posted on the top of the homepage to the right of the College name. 
  3. Call the College main number, (302) 998-8814, after 6 a.m. for an announcement of closing.
  4. Listen to one of the radio stations listed below after 5:30 a.m. for announcement of closing. The announcement will stipulate whether it is just day classes or day and evening classes both.
    If the announcement does not specifically state that the College is closed for evening classes, be sure to listen again after 3 p.m. If the College is not announced as being closed for evening, then faculty and appropriate staff should report for duty.

When the College determines it is necessary to have a delayed opening due to inclement weather, classes scheduled to be in session at the delayed opening time will begin class at that time.  For example, when a two-hour delay occurs and the College opens at 10 am, classes scheduled to start at 9:30 am will plan to have class from 10 am to the regularly scheduled end time of that class.  If the class is regularly scheduled for 9:30 am – 10:45 am, then that class would meet from 10 am – 10:45 am.
