FHSU plan for severe weather conditions affecting classes and administrative offices

In the event severe weather conditions threaten to disrupt class and/or administrative office schedules, the primary concern will be the safety and welfare of the students, faculty and staff. In such situations, the following plan will be initiated. The President has three options:

  • Announce the University is closed and is under a Declaration of Inclement Weather. With this Declaration, all operations will be curtailed except the power plant, university police, university farm, grounds department, campus switchboard and the residence halls. All other employees will be granted "time off" with pay.
  • The University is open, but classes are canceled. All employees who are unable to be at work will be charged leave time for working hours missed. Making up missed time is not an option.
  • The University is open with classes as usual. Employees unable to be at work will be charged leave time for working hours missed. Making up missed time is not an option.
  •     Announcements related to any of the three options will be released to news media through the Office of University Relations. Weather decisions affecting the daytime operations will be made around 6:30 a.m. If weather conditions will affect evening activities at the University, this announcement will be made around 2:30 or 3 p.m.
        Please tune in to your local radio or television station to hear these announcements or check this page.
