When there is a concern or threat of inclement weather the campus administration reserves the right to implement its weather emergency procedure. Please use caution and allow ample time for travel and delays when travel becomes dangerous during inclement weather.

It is at the discretion of each University Program administration to determine closings dependant on weather conditions in their respective location. Immediately, after the decision has been made the administrator will notify the respective personnel on the closing status so that this web page can be updated and KYW1060 AM News Radio can be notified.
