Methodist University - Inclement Weather Policy

Inclement Weather Policy

For the convenience of the entire campus community, a Weather Alert and Message Board telephone line has been installed. By dialing extension 7351 on-campus, or (910) 630-7351 off-campus, callers will receive a recorded message concerning inclement weather or other college announcements that are pertinent.

This line will be updated daily by 5 p.m. The decision about a delay or closing will be made by 6:00 a.m. for day classes and no later than 3:00 p.m. for MC at Night classes.

Delays and closings will continue to be posted on the home page of the College’s website.

Students & Faculty

When classes are being held, the decision about attending class rests with the individual driver. No student or faculty member should attend class if he/she believes that driving conditions are too dangerous. If a student misses classes because of dangerous weather, no penalty will be imposed by the faculty; and the student will be allowed to make up any work missed. The student is, however, responsible for the material covered in all classes.

Staff

Staff are expected to report to work when the college is open and operating. No one should report to work if he/she believes that driving conditions are too dangerous. Per the Staff Handbook, if the college is open and you don't report to work, you will be assessed annual leave for all hours missed. For more information, refer to the Staff Handbook.
