Severe Weather: Instructor Responsibilities When Classes are Cancelled

The decision to cancel classes due to severe weather applies to all classes regardless of modality — in-person, synchronous and asynchronous online. Instructors cannot mandate student activities or assignments on a day of closure.

Assignments due during the closure are delayed and instructors are expected to communicate with students regarding their expectations for missed or delayed assignments and to clarify any changes in class schedule due to the closure.
