Please pay close attention to the details of closings, cancellations, or delays listed in media announcements, as they may not include some areas of the institution.

CLASSES ARE CANCELLED.  This means that classes are cancelled, but offices and other College facilities are open.

CAMPUS CLOSED.  This means that there are no classes and offices are closed. Only essential functions are open (Campus Dining, Libraries, and Alumni Healthful Living Center).

ACTIVITY CANCELLED OR POSTPONED.  This means a particular event has been cancelled or postponed.

Each individual must make his or her own decision as to whether or not to travel to the campus if classes are not cancelled.  Students  should be advised that, if classes/exams are not cancelled and a student  is unable to get to campus, it is the student's responsibility to contact the faculty member(s) to make appropriate arrangements.

We hope you will become familiar with these various means of communication during periods of inclement weather and other emergencies.
