Revised November 1, 1998
The University maintains its teaching, research and public service activities in accordance with established schedules and operational demands. To this end, the suspension or cancellation of classes or the temporary suspension of campus operations will be avoided whenever possible.
Only the Chancellor (President for UM) has the authority to cancel classes or suspend campus operations in the event of severe weather or other emergency.
All announcements of changes in operations will be released by the Chancellor (President for UM) through the Office of Public Information.
NOTE: UMC and UM announcements will be coordinated so only one announcement is made.
