BAD WEATHER POLICY

1. In the case of bad weather or other serious situations on campus, faculty, staff and students should call the campus emergency message number, 610 526-7310. The message will indicate one of the following situations:
   • Only staff members who have been designated by their supervisor as essential staff members should stay or report to work. Classes are continuing to be held. However, there may be some faculty members who need to cancel classes. Those faculty members canceling classes will leave a message on their voice mail indicating that their classes have been cancelled for that day. Students can call the phone number of their faculty members to determine if a class has been cancelled.
   • Classes have been cancelled and only staff members who have been designated by their supervisor as essential staff members should stay or report to work. Students should not go to classes.
2. When the bad weather condition occurs overnight the message will be on the College emergency number by 6 AM.
3. Broadcast emails will also be sent when there is a bad weather condition that occurs during the day.
4. When classes are cancelled KYW radio and FOX television will be notified that the school has been closed. Our code number for KYW and FOX is 479.
5. The Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research will make a separate determination of class cancellations. When classes are cancelled students should listen to KYW radio (the code number is 415, Montgomery County) or call 610 520-2600.
