In the event of campus closure due to emergencies, the continuity of learning ensures you have access to quality education and learning opportunities by providing alternative digital methods, such as online instruction and virtual classroom meetings.
TAMU-CC uses the Code Blue Emergency Notification System, a comprehensive alert system that connects students, faculty, and staff during emergencies. In the event of campus closure or class cancellations, a message will be sent via the Code Blue system and email. Please be sure to sign up for Code Blue to receive the information.
