Weekend Storm – February 3, 2024:

We are closely monitoring this weekend's forecasted storm. Although reports currently show the storm is likely to be strongest on Sunday, should the storm continue into Monday and road conditions prevent students from safely commuting to in-person classes, please reach out to your professors directly. You can also request any in-person counseling meetings be conducted remotely instead.

Similarly, should road conditions prevent employees from safely commuting to work due to the storm’s strength on Monday, please coordinate directly with your supervisor.

Additionally, Oxnard College is on standby to have our gym serve as an evacuation site for local residents if asked by the Red Cross and will activate if necessary. If this occurs, classes in the gym may be moved to another location – students should please check with their instructors for updates should that happen.
