While the repair work on the broken water main is going well at this point, all classes and activities scheduled for the evening of Dec. 13 have been cancelled to allow the work to proceed and to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff.

Students impacted by these cancellations will hear from their instructors with specific guidance on how their final examinations or other remaining course work will proceed. Faculty members will determine the best approach for serving the needs of their classes, while meeting the requirements of the end of the semester. 

We anticipate that the Sugar Grove Campus will return to normal operations and schedules on Thursday, Dec. 14. If there are any changes to that, updates will be posted on the college website and social media platforms by 5:00 a.m.

We understand the frustrations that this causes and we appreciate your ongoing patience as we work through this.

Again, these cancellations only apply to the Sugar Grove Campus. All other classes and activities at other campuses will continue as scheduled. 

The regularly scheduled December meeting of the Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees has been cancelled. The meeting was scheduled for Dec. 13 at 5:30 p.m. on the Sugar Grove Campus.

The repair work on the broken water main on the Sugar Grove Campus is complete. The college will resume classes and all other normal operations in Sugar Grove on Thursday, December 14. Students, faculty, and staff are to proceed with final examinations and any other remaining coursework as planned.

Due to the water disruption, a boil order will be in effect on the Sugar Grove Campus until further notice. Individuals will not be able to get drinking water from fountains or sinks. The café in the Student Center is expected to be open for regular operating hours, though with some limitations. Bottled water will be available for purchase.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while crews from Campus Operations, the contracted repair company, and the Sugar Grove Fire Department among others have worked diligently to repair the break and get the college back to its mission of teaching.

Dr. Sobek wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season.

Due to a water main break, the Sugar Grove Campus will be closed during the day on Wednesday, December 13. All classes and other campus activities are cancelled. Students, faculty and staff are to not come to the campus during the day.

At its meeting on December 5, the Waubonsee Community College Foundation welcomed Matt Winkle of Aurora to its board of directors.
