Only in cases of severe weather conditions will the campus be closed. If the campus is closed, all classes are cancelled and offices are closed. Essential employees will report to maintain necessary operations such as food service, snow removal, building heat.

Classes cancelled: when inclement weather causes poor traveling conditions, classes may be cancelled. Offices will open at normal times if driving conditions permit.

Classes on Compressed Schedule: If the forecast predicts improving conditions, classes may be put on a compressed schedule (listed below). This schedule will allow time for roads to be plowed and give students more time to reach campus. Offices will open at normal times if driving conditions permit.
