Adverse weather conditions – student guidelines

paramount concern.
If a student is unable to reach the campus due to adverse weather or road conditions
please refer to the following guidelines:
- Contact your instructors and notify them that you will be absent as soon as possible
when safe to do so
- It is the student’s responsibility to follow up with the instructor about the missed course
work. Course materials will be available on the moodle course page.
- Snow or ice storm causing highways departments to issue a travel advisory is
considered an excused absence.
- If an excused absence results in a missed test, the test will be rescheduled to another date
as determined by the instructor in consultation with the student
