All Wake Tech campuses are closed Monday, March 16, 2026, due to forecasts of severe weather. Although the college is on spring break, many non-degree classes are still held this week. Students taking non-degree classes in person should check with their instructors for more information. Online non-degree classes continue as scheduled. Many Wake Tech student services, including Admissions and Advising, are available online at virtualsupport.waketech.edu. Wake Tech employees who can work remotely should do so.
