School Closing or Class Cancellation

ECPI may close the school or cancel classes for the following reasons:

• Extreme weather situation in which it is determined unsafe for students to travel
• Emergency situation in a particular classroom (e.g. lack of electricity or air conditioning/heat)
• Faculty unavailable due to illness or personal emergency when a qualified substitute is unavailable
• Other unforeseen events

Class cancellations. In the event that a class meeting must be cancelled, ECPI will make every effort to inform students of the cancellation as soon as possible.

School closing. ECPI’s policy is to remain open whenever possible. If snow or other weather conditions or an emergency situation results in a school closing, announcements will be posted on the student portal of the University web site, local television, and/or radio stations. The front office at each campus can provide a list of stations notified of ECPI weather closings.

Rescheduling of Cancelled Classes. In the event of a cancelled class or school closing, it may be necessary to schedule make-up classes on another day or at the end of the term.

Unless further announcements are made, classes will resume on schedule the following day. Students are to assume responsibility for their own safety when making decisions to attend class during inclement weather.
