If nothing is posted to these various locations, the status of the College remains normal. Unless a severe storm is forecast and a class delay or cancellation appears imminent, no "warning" or "stand-by" message will be posted.
Students and faculty are expected to use good judgment and discretion, since road conditions and personal circumstances may vary. Faculty should not penalize students who present a valid excuse for missing classes on a snow day. However, if you are a commuter student and feel it is unsafe to travel to campus even though classes have not been delayed or cancelled, it is your responsibility to contact your professor to hand in assignments or obtain necessary notes.
