• Saturday Classes: Every effort will be made to make the decision for Saturday classes by 6 am, if possible.

Please Note

• The university only announces delayed openings or campus closings–we do not inform the community that we are open for normal operations.  
• If a decision to cancel day classes is publicized, this does not mean evening classes are also canceled (evening classes begin at 4:30 pm). 
• When the university is closed, all evening and weekend activities are canceled. 
• Further information about the cancellation of events will be available on the university’s website or by calling the department that is sponsoring or running the event. It is NOT advised to rely on media outlets for this type of notice. 

Please do not call university police to check for university closings or delayed openings. Phones need to stay open for true emergencies. Thank you for your cooperation.
