In anticipation of the threat from Typhoon Sinlaku, Northern Marianas College has announced the cancellation of classes on all campuses (and the closure of its offices) until an “All Clear” declaration is made or until otherwise announced.
Given the expected, protracted impact of Typhoon Sinlaku, which include strong winds and heavy rainfall / flooding, students and employees should expect additional updates to class schedules for the remainder of this coming week.
The College will continue to monitor storm conditions through emergency management agencies and will share appropriate notices through official NMC channels:
- NMC Employee and Student Email (marianas.edu/my.marianas.edu)
- NMC Portal+ (portal.marianas.edu)
- NMC Website (marianas.edu/stormupdates)
- NMC Social Media Pages (Facebook and Instagram: @nmc.proa)
- News outlets, including local radio stations
Students and employees are encouraged to take all precautions necessary to prepare for damaging winds, heavy rains, flooding, and other storm impacts. It is also important to note that during emergency situations, there may be inaccurate or disinformation shared with the community.
