Inclement Weather

EXTREME WINTER WEATHER is relatively rare in central Ohio, but if a Level 3 Snow Emergency is declared in Delaware County, the University will close. Classes will be cancelled and faculty and staff in non-essential service areas will be instructed not to report to campus.

To ensure the comfort and safety of students, workers in Dining Services, Buildings and Grounds, and Public Safety will be asked to report as usual.

In addition to using the Connect-ED notification system to notify the campus community of the weather-related closing, information will be posted on the University Web site and shared with area media.

Media to be notified include:

Columbus Radio Group
ONN/Ohio News Network
WBNS-TV (CBS 10)
WBZX-FM 99.7 and affiliates
WCMH-TV (NBC 4)
WSYX-TV (ABC 6)
WTTE-TV (Fox 28)
WTVN-AM 610 and affiliates
