What schedule does GTC follow for inclement weather?

Greenville Technical College will determine its own schedule with regard to cancellation of classes, college activities and other events and any delayed opening during periods of inclement weather. The college will not follow the schedule of the Greenville County School District but will take the public school schedule into consideration. Greenville Technical College will utilize the following with regard to operating hours: Option 1: The College is closed. All day and evening classes, activities and events are cancelled. Option 2: All day classes, activities and events are cancelled. Option 3: All evening classes, activities and events are cancelled. Option 4: Classes are delayed until 10:00 AM – when classes/activities are delayed, students should report to the class they would normally report to then in progress at that time. In other words, if a class normally begins at 9:30 AM and continues until 11:00 AM, students should attend that class beginning at 10:00 AM.

Where can class cancellation information be found?

Information regarding delay or cancellation can be found through the following sources: TV Outlets

• WYFF – TV 4 (NBC) • WSPA – TV 7 (CBS) • WHNS – TV 21 (FOX) • WLOS – TV 13 (ABC)
