Weather Emergencies Policy

This is a reminder of UW-Parkside policies in the event of inclement weather and weather emergencies.

The policies draw important distinctions between the university remaining open, "canceling classes," and "closing the university." During a weather emergency, a decision may be made to:

1. Keep the university open.
2. Cancel classes and keep the university open.
3. Close the university.

Inclement Weather: University Remains Open
 
When there is inclement weather and the university remains open, students and employees should use their own judgment in attending classes and reporting to work.
 
Decisions affecting morning and afternoon classes are ordinarily made by 6 a.m.; decisions affecting evening classes that start after 4:30 p.m. are ordinarily made in the early afternoon (see Notification below). If emergency weather conditions develop during the workday and supervisors desire to have employees leave early, the supervisor's decision must comply with university guidelines (see Employee Information below).
 
Inclement Weather: Classes Canceled; University Open
 
When all classes are canceled and the university remains open, employees must use their own judgment in reporting to work. Decisions affecting morning and afternoon classes are ordinarily made by 6 a.m.; decisions affecting evening classes that start after 4:30 p.m. are ordinarily made in the early afternoon (see Notification below). If emergency weather conditions develop during the workday and supervisors desire to have employees leave early, the supervisor's decision must comply with university guidelines (see Employee Information below). When classes are canceled and the university remains open, extracurricular activities such as athletic events, concerts, and special presentations may or may not take place as scheduled. Please visit the UW-Parkside website for the most up-to-date information.
 
Inclement Weather: University Closed
 
When the university is closed, all classes and all extracurricular activities are canceled. However, there are campus operations, which must continue despite the weather: campus police services, snow removal, power-plant operation, food service for residential students, etc. For employees in these areas, please contact your supervisor for schedule details. If the university is closed, the Human Resources Department will inform employees about the proper method for reporting "lost time."
