GENERAL NPC INFORMATION




COLLEGE INFORMATION HOTLINE: x7303

The College Information Hotline gives you access to information about student financial aid and scholarships, job opportunities, GED testing information, and facility closures.

If you live within the calling area for a campus community, just call the Automated Attendant. (After dialing, select Option 1 and enter 7303).

For information regarding area-wide emergencies in southern Navajo and Apache counties, call 1-928-333-3412 (long-distance charges may apply). You may also access the information by dialing 593 from any Frontier landline phone or *593 from a Cellular One unit. You will receive the latest about emergency conditions, prescribed burns, smoke in the area, and so on--don't call 911 unless you have an actual emergency.

COLLEGE VISITATION

The public is always welcome to visit NPC campuses and centers. Visitors are asked to check in at the campus or center office. While classes are in session, visitors should be considerate of students and not bring small children into classroom, laboratory or library areas.

For your safety, please keep out of construction areas. In many instances there will be public open houses when buildings are completed.

NPC encourages the public to use our library facilities. A wide selection of reference materials are available, or can be requested through interlibrary loan networks. Ask our local library media specialist for assistance.

Soliciting is prohibited on all campuses and centers. Normally the student lounges, campus/center offices, art galleries, academic advising offices, libraries, parking lots and hallways are open to the public. Classrooms, fitness rooms, and faculty offices are reserved for registered students. To enhance learning experience, please do not bring children to class.

Visitors will be held to the same standards of conduct as NPC students.



REPORTING EMERGENCIES

In order to handle emergencies, Campus/Center Managers will be designated and a list posted at each center to collect and distribute the following information:

  1. Who made the call: name, classification (student, townsperson, faculty, etc.)

  2. What is the nature of the call: report of theft, fire, etc.

  3. Where did it happen: in the building, if so which one, etc.

  4. When did it happen: date and time if known.

  5. When was local fire/police or medical personnel advised?

  6. When was President or member of President’s staff advised of the situation?

Other pertinent information such as witnesses of the event, etc. and action taken if any. Sign the report.

[NPC Procedure #2510, based on Policy #1310]



WEATHER EMERGENCIES

  1. Short of a two-county disaster area being declared, the College as a whole never closes because of weather. If such a disaster occurs, the decision to close will be made by the College president.

  2. In the event of a very severe weather situation, an individual campus or center might be closed for a period of time. If such a situation occurs, a decision to close a center or campus will be made by the Vice President for Learning. If the VPL is not available, the decision will be made by the Vice President of Student Services.

  3. In the event of severe weather conditions, classes may be cancelled for a period of time at a specific center or campus. Any decision to cancel classes at a specific location will be made by the Vice President for Learning. If the VPL is not available, the decision will be made by the Vice President of Student Services.

  4. As a general rule, classes will not be cancelled, so faculty and students need to exercise judgement regarding travel to campuses and centers for classes in severe weather conditions.

  5. If a class is missed because of weather conditions, it needs to be made up. If a faculty member is unable to teach a class, s/he must call the appropriate academic dean/director and the campus/center office as soon as possible to let them know. If possible, the campus office will notify students of the faculty member’s class cancellation to forestall an unnecessary trip to the campus/center by the students.



PROCESS FOR CLOSING/CANCELLATION AT A CENTER/CAMPUS

If weather conditions or other emergencies force the closure of an NPC campus or center, an announcement will be made over radio stations serving the affected area. The decision to close an NPC facility will be made by the Vice President for Learning, based on information from local law enforcement and NPC personnel. Instructors may cancel individual classes with the permission of the department dean. When time permits, students will be notified by phone of individual class cancellations. Students are responsible for making up any work missed.

Note: Posters at NPC facilities list local radio stations which have agreed to broadcast campus/center closures due to weather, or other situations.
