On occasion, during the winter months, the University may be forced to close, delay opening, or cancel classes due to severe weather conditions. If weather conditions are severe, listen to WYSU-FM (88.5) radio. They are the only official source regarding closing or canceling of classes. WYSU-FM will provide the local media with a statement regarding the closing or cancellation of classes. Make sure that you understand the University=s closing procedures so that you will know when you are to report to work.
All departments should have in place a telephone tree listing the names, office phone numbers and home phone numbers of all individuals in the department. This telephone tree can be activated by the department head when he/she is notified of any changes to the normal work schedule due to closings. Update this tree yearly or when any changes are necessary due to new employees in your department.
For complete information regarding the University=s Cancellation of Classes Procedure and the Contingency Closing Procedure, contact the department of Human Resources.
