Inclement Weather Notifications
|
As a reminder, Whitman College makes decisions related to inclement weather as follows:
|
- Delay/closure decisions are made following discussions between administrators, Security and Facilities.
- When possible, notifications about closures or delays are sent by 7 a.m. However, if conditions deteriorate throughout the day, a later decision may be necessary.
- Notifications will be made via email or via the college’s emergency alert system, depending on the urgency and circumstances.
- Safety of all faculty, staff and students is our top priority. If the conditions are worse where you live compared to what is observed on campus, use your best judgment and stay home if you need to.
|
If the college is operating but you are unable to get to campus:
|
- Students should notify professors and/or supervisors.
- Faculty members should notify their division chair and the students in any affected classes.
- Staff members should notify their supervisors to discuss work from home or other arrangements.
|
If you do not hear anything from the college via email or text, assume that the college is operating on a normal schedule.
