The University will usually remain open for classes and maintain regular work schedules in the event of most severe weather and emergencies.
Severe weather includes events such as ice storms and major accumulations of snow.
Emergencies may be limited to portions of campus or can affect the entire campus. If the University is open but an employee is unable to report on time for, the employee should notify the supervisor or leave a message at the office. If conditions are such that employees should not report to work, employees will be advised via announcements over local radio and television stations. If the emergency forces temporary or short-term cancellation of classes and work schedules during the day, employees are eligible for pay for those hours normally worked during the period of closure. If the work space is safe and inhabitable, work should be conducted at the work site.
