LUMBERTON — Robeson Community College has announced that it will close its campuses at noon today (Monday) due to the safety hazards posed by Tropical Cyclone #8, shifting to remote learning.
“The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and community are our top priorities,” RCC President Melissa Singler said in a campus wide email to faculty, staff, and students. “Due to the potential for severe weather surrounding Tropical Cyclone # 8, Robeson Community College’s main campus and all off campus sites will transition to remote learning at 12:00 noon.”
Starting at noon today, face-to-face classes will shift to remote learning.
Students should check Moodle and their college email for instructions from faculty regarding classes, assignments, and clinicals. Online classes will proceed as scheduled.
