 LATE OPENINGS/EMERGENCY CLOSINGS

 

As a residential college, Wesleyan University has students to serve no matter what the weather and therefore normally does not adjust administrative office hours due to weather conditions.  Exceptional circumstances such as blackouts, civil emergencies, or severe storms that, for example, might keep parking lots from being cleared, could prompt the University to open offices late, close early, or close for a complete work day.
 
Late opening announcements will be broadcast on radio station WTIC (1080 AM) and, if possible, will be recorded as a bulletin message on our voice mail system so that staff members can phone from home (to access from home call 860-685-2222) for the latest information.  If offices must close early, Human Resources will notify all department heads.

In any event, administrative staff members should use their own judgement about coming to or staying at work when they believe extreme weather or other conditions put them at risk.
