Hofstra Debate to Change NCC Classes, Parking

Because of the Presidential Debate at nearby Hofstra University next Monday, Nassau Community College will be operating on a modified schedule that day.

On debate day, Sept. 26, some classes at NCC will be canceled. Classes that meet on Monday and another day during the week are canceled. But classes that meet only on Mondays are still scheduled to take place. Canceling those Monday-only classes, the school said, would be equivalent to students missing an entire week's worth of work.

Classes that meet in the Physical Education Complex will not meet, as the complex is being used to stage security for the debate.

The TEAS nursing exams scheduled for Monday will still take place.

All campus activities and events are canceled.

Additionally, the Barnes and Nobel on campus will be closed all day. The Nassau Market (Cluster B) will have regular hours. The Center Court Café (Lower Level Tower) and Nassau Eatz (building V) will be closed.

There will also be changes to the roads nearby and to the parking on campus.

• Earl Ovington Blvd will be closed – No access to campus
• Charles Lindbergh is currently scheduled to be open, but could be closed without notice.
• The most reliable access to the campus will be from the north via Selfridge Avenue and Endo Boulevard.
• Parking lots West 4A, East 5A, 5B and 5C will be closed.
• There will be NO access to campus via Blenn Blvd.
• Perimeter Road will be closed.

Because of road closures around Hofstra, NICE Bus said to expect extreme delays on the n15, n22, n23,n24, 47/48/49 lines.
