College Closings

If there is inclement weather such as a blizzard or ice storm, DMACC students, faculty and staff should listen to radio or television stations for possible college closing announcements. If DMACC is not mentioned, students may view the DMACC website: www.dmacc.edu, or call the following phone numbers for a message:

• Ankeny 515-964-6200

DMACC gives very serious consideration to all inclement weather and is committed to making decisions to close the College as soon as possible. Weather conditions are monitored continuously in advance of winter storms and decisions are targeted to be made by 6 a.m. for day classes and 4 p.m. for evening classes. Students are encouraged to use their best judgment when determining to attend classes in inclement weather. If students decide not to attend classes due to weather, it is their responsibility to contact their instructors.
