Flooding has forced the closure of SUNY Schenectady County Community College on Monday (March 9). The college announced that all on-campus and remote classes, activities, events, and meetings are canceled, and all offices are closed for the day. The flooding is attributed to rising water levels from the Mohawk River, which has impacted the campus facilities.
The college's decision to close comes as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff. According to the college's official alert page, the campus closure affects all scheduled activities, including classes and meetings.
The flooding situation at SUNY Schenectady is part of a broader pattern of weather-related disruptions the college has faced in recent years, including closures due to winter weather. The college remains committed to providing updates as the situation develops and encourages students and staff to monitor official channels for further information.
As the college assesses the impact of the flooding, it remains unclear when normal operations will resume. Students and faculty are advised to check the college's website and communication channels for updates on the reopening of the campus and rescheduling of classes and events.
