  Emergency Closure and Class Cancellation Procedure

  The following school closure and class cancellation procedure is written to ensure the safety of faculty, staff and students. 91福利社 strongly encourages everyone to register for the RAVE Emergency Alert System at  to receive closure and school delay information, as well as emergency alerts through cell phones and other electronic devices. 

  Definitions

  University or Campus Closing: University campuses or a designated campus are closed for a period of time with no classes in session and no offices are open or events taking place on the date of closure. (Only security and essential personnel should report.)

  Classes Cancelled but Staff Reports: No classes are in session for a specific period of time on all or designated campuses, but administrators and staff must report. Administrative offices are open.

  Late Start: In the event of inclement weather when, for a limited period of time, the University will announce a “Late Start.” An announced two-hour delay would mean a 10 a.m. opening for the University. Classes that start before the late start time of 10 a.m. but cross over to 10 a.m. (e.g., classes that are scheduled 9:30-10:30 a.m.) will be cancelled. This delay will be for two hours, using 8 a.m. as the regular opening time. Employees whose functions are required earlier than 8 a.m. should consult their area vice president for instructions. Employee safety will guide the decision that is made. Classes scheduled during the hours affected by the delay will be cancelled.

  Essential Personnel: Employees who are required to report to their designated work location to ensure the operation of essential functions or departments during an emergency or when the University has suspended operations. Essential Personnel are expected to come to work in emergency situations unless they are specifically excused by their department. If an employee calls in sick, medical documentation is required. Failure to report to work as directed may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

  Administrative Functions: This refers to all normal campus operations when the University is open. Should there be a reason to cancel operations, all messaging will reference administrative functions.

  Transition to Remote Delivery: If there are opportunities to transition in-person learning to remote delivery to address faculty and student concerns regarding travel in difficult weather and/or other campus emergencies, transition to remote delivery will be included in messages. In addition, students will receive directions to consult their Blackboard coarse sites for additional instructions from faculty.
