A notice will also be posted on the college website and sent through Omnialert emergency texting system. All Hilbert College community members are expected to register for Omnialert to receive the most accurate information about college closures and emergencies. Individuals can register at https://hilbert.omnilert.net/subscriber.php .

Because colleges do not transport students, they remain open when school districts close. It then becomes a personal decision to attend classes if the College remains open under conditions you consider too hazardous for travel. There are also occasions when only day or evening classes may be cancelled when the other is not.
