Timing

Given our broad service area, off-site programs and the variability in the weather, all things are possible but here are a couple of scenarios:

  • Before the start of your workday, you believe weather conditions may force a schedule change.  In this case:       
    • Listen to local media, go online or call (see information in box above) for more information and take appropriate action
    • When possible, this information will be available by 5 a.m.
  • After your workday has started, conditions may warrant a schedule change. In this case:
    •  Listen/watch for an all-campus voicemail or e-mail and take appropriate action.
    •  For evening classes and operations, this decision will be made by 3 p.m.
