What Happens When Weather Interferes With Class Schedules?

When a late opening is announced due to weather, all classes and activities scheduled prior to the announced opening time are cancelled. Faculty, staff and students are not expected to arrive on campus until the published opening time. The class schedule resumes at the published opening time. If a class or activity for that day includes time before and after the published opening time, then that class or activity should begin at the published opening time. For example, in a situation where a late opening is announced at 10:00 a.m. on a Friday:

• A class scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and end at 9:50 a.m. on Friday would not meet.

• A class scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and end at 10:20 a.m. on Friday would meet for 20 minutes (10 to 10:20 a.m.

• A class scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 10:50 a.m. would meet for the regularly scheduled 50 minutes.

In some situations, short term continuing education classes may be cancelled completely in a late opening. Consult your instructor to find out whether this applies.
