Delays or Closings

鶹Ƶ’s Provost Ի will decide if there is a school delay or a school closing. 鶹Ƶ’s campus remains open during snow storms and other inclement weather to serve resident students and commuters who live near campus.

If regular procedures must be altered, it will be done as early as possible and announced via email, the 鶹Ƶ website, Today at 鶹Ƶ, and 鶹Ƶ’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Students

If weather conditions are so severe as to render it dangerous for students to reach the university, those who elect not to come to campus on that particular day will not be penalized for failure to do so.

Faculty & Staff

Faculty and staff who live some distance from campus and who might be prevented from safely traveling to campus must contact their respective dean (faculty) or supervisor (staff) and make arrangements to cover their classes or work duties.

鶹Ƶ faculty and staff are expected to be prudent, but take all reasonable measures to reach campus during inclement weather. Administrative offices will open at 8 a.m. unless announced otherwise. A member of administrative or support staff who chooses not to report for work when 鶹Ƶ is open, must take a vacation day.
