Proposed

Inclement Weather Classroom Policy

When the start of classes is delayed due to inclement weather, only courses that begin after the delay should meet. For example, for a two-hour delay, only classes that begin at or after 10:00 a.m. should meet.

Any exceptions to this policy should be clearly explained in course syllabi, and instructors should attempt to reach students to remind them of such exceptions. For example, teachers of longer classes or classes that meet infrequently may want students to attend for the remainder of a course that begins before the delay is over. For example, teachers of a three-hour course that begins at 8:00 a.m. may expect students to attend class at 10:00 a.m. following the end of a two-hour delay.
