When icy conditions, snow, or other bad weather scenarios are present, the College has a team that convenes to decide on possible changes to the schedule to ensure student and staff safety.
Please note: Although every effort is made to make these decisions as quickly as possible, we must also wait until we have the best information available. Making a call the day before a snow storm arrives is often not feasible.
In the case of inclement weather, classes will be held virtually for students via Zoom. Faculty will contact students with any necessary information regarding class.

Inclement Weather Procedures and Policies
If students need to come to campus and believe they cannot make it safely, they should contact their professors or work/club advisors.
Our first priority is student safety, as it is impossible to know the conditions of every road. We do make every effort to answer your questions on social media and elsewhere. If you have not seen any communications from the College about a closure, we have not adjusted the schedule as of that point.
Please contact officials with individual programs/activities (such as Nursing or Student Teaching) if you are unsure how inclement weather impacts their schedule. The College will not necessarily know how an individual program is affected, particularly off-campus.
Evaluations of the weather/road conditions will be made throughout the day/evening to determine early Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center closings due to the deterioration of the weather.
For details on how inclement weather impacts students, including internships, co-ops, clinicals, and other off-campus assignments, view the Inclement Weather Policy.
