When severe weather is predicted or when emergencies arise, the president or designee will determine when conditions necessitate closing or canceling classes at the entire University or any of its specific units. The president or designee will make a decision to close based on the recommendations from: • University police, safety and facilities personnel, who will be checking the condition of campus sidewalks and parking lots. • City and county law enforcement agencies, who will report on road conditions on highways and roads in areas surrounding the University. • The Ohio State Patrol and County Sheriff, who may issue advisories related to weather. • Additional sources as needed. Closing information will be announced as early and as simply as possible. This information will be relayed to students in several ways: • Radio and TV: Closing information will be provided to major radio and television stations in Akron, Canton, and Cleveland. • On the Web: Closing information will be posted on the University’s homepage at www.uakron.edu and on MyAkron at https://my.uakron.edu. • E-mail: A message will be sent to students’ and employees’ University mailboxes. • Text messaging: A message will be sent to anyone who subscribes to our Z- Alert text messaging service. Learn more about it at http://www.uakron.edu/info/z-alert.php. • By phone: The University’s emergency information phone line is updated around the clock as conditions warrant. The number is 330-972-SNOW or 330-972-6238 (TDD/Voice). University colleges and departments are encouraged to establish a method for communicating the closing decision to department personnel.
