Bad Weather...
When severe weather threatens to disrupt classes and/or administrative office schedules, several options are considered on the basis of safety and welfare of students, faculty and staff:
- Opening at 10 a.m., compressed classes, liberal leave
- Classes cancelled, liberal leave in effect
- University closes
Decisions to delay or close are based on road conditions provided by Pennsylvania State Police and/or Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
If severe weather exists before the start of the normal schedule, a decision will be made by 5:15 a.m. and conveyed to students and employees by local television, radio and university communications channels. If bad weather occurs during the scheduled day, class cancellation and liberal leave decisions will be made and distributed as situations warrant.
