University Operations During Severe Weather Conditions
Weather conditions can develop, especially in winter months, that require the university to consider the status of operations. Factors considered include the impact of the weather forecast and maintenance of necessary services for our on-campus student population.
The decision to declare an emergency change to virtual campus operations (including classes moving to a virtual format) is a consultative process involving several administrative areas responsible for the safety and operations of the university. The provost finalizes decisions about class modality adjustments and presidential authorization is required for an emergency change to virtual campus operations or closure of the university.
