Winter Term Inclement Weather Process

Winter term often means inclement weather. OLLI at SOU follows SOU closures due to inclement weather; however, there are time we make the decision to cancel before SOU due to our location on a hill.

• If SOU is on a two-hour delay, all 9 a.m. in-person Ashland classes are canceled. All remaining classes for the day are unaffected, and 11 a.m. classes resume as normal.
• If SOU closes campus for the day, all in-person Ashland courses are canceled.

Check these places for a cancellation notification on inclement weather days:

• Your personal email inbox for a direct email
• The OLLI at SOU office phone (541-552-6048)
• The OLLI at SOU Facebook Page
• The main OLLI at SOU website for a cancellation announcement at the top of the page
