The University will make every effort to announce a closure or curtailment decision before the start of the work day. The information will be distributed or posted by 6:30 a.m. The official closure time will be posted to the announcement located at http:\/\/alert.oregonstate.edu\/. Unless otherwise informed, employees are to assume that the University is open and that they are to report to work.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, only the President or his designee may close the University.\u00a0 On-campus departments may not cease operations and send employees home due to inclement weather or hazardous conditions unless the President has closed the University.\u00a0 Off-campus facilities should contact the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Administration to discuss the appropriateness of ceasing or curtailing operations at their location if they believe it is necessary.<\/p>\n
Should you have questions, please contact Viki Dimick Jackson at: viki.dimick@oregonstate.edu or by phone at: 541-737-0547.<\/p>\n
