University Closing Policy
The president, or designee, upon the recommendation of the Director of Public
Safety and Chief of Police, will determine when conditions - such as severe
weather or a state of emergency - necessitate closing the entire University or
canceling classes at the main campus and/or Wayne College in Orrville.
The Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police will promptly notify other designated
University officials and members of the Department of University
Communications, who will contact area media. University colleges/departments
are encouraged to establish a method for communic~ting the closing decision to
department personnel. Closing information will be announced as early and as
simply as possible to avoid confusion.
Cancellation of classes and closure announcements will be made as early as
possible in the day and will clearly state the affected campus(es). Call 972-
SNOW or 972-6238 (TDDNoice) for updated information.
