LLI members - NCC services

As an LLI member, you can obtain an NCC ID card for use in the NCC Library and the Wellness Center. In the library, a staff member at the check-out desk will look at your LLI membership card, take your picture, and add the library card to the back of the ID card. The Wellness Center will add a sticker.

For library hours, see the NCC Library website.

For Wellness Center hours, go to the NCC website and look for Wellness Center (or Fitness Center) under Resources.

NCC weather cancellation notices

When NCC classes are canceled, LLI classes are canceled. Here's a copy of the statement in the NCC Student Handbook.

Class Cancellation
Classes are canceled only as a result of extreme weather conditions or other emergencies. The college notifies the radio/TV stations listed below to announce cancellations.

Radio Stations
Bridgeport: WICC 600 AM, WEBE 108 FM, WEZN 99.99 FM
Danbury: WLAD 800 AM, WREF 850 AM
Greenwich: WGCH 1490 AM
New Haven: WELI 960 AM, WKCI 101.3 FM
Norwalk: WNLK 1350 AM, WEFX 95.9 FM
Stamford: WSTC 1400 AM, WKHL 96.7 FM
Westport: WMMM 1260 AM

New York: WINS 1010 AM

TV Stations
Hartford Area: WFSB Channel 3, WVIT Channel 30
New Haven: WTNH Channel 8
Norwalk: Cablevision Channel 12

All of these stations customarily broadcast notices of school and college closings. It should be pointed out, however, that announcements of the closing of “Norwalk schools” refer only to the elementary and high schools unless the college is mentioned. In general, it is best to assume that there will be classes unless a specific announcement is made that Norwalk Community College is closed. Please listen to one of the radio/TV stations listed. Delay/cancellation information may also be obtained by calling NCC’s main number, (203) 857-7000, and getting a recorded message.
