With the winter storm season approaching, the Division of Finance and Administration has announced storm procedures and the availability of an information telephone line.
John Adams, vice president for finance and administration, asks that NDSU personnel and students use the NDSU Web site (www.ndsu.edu) as the primary source of storm information, supplemented by 231-INFO (231-4636) instead of calling University Police. The Web site and telephone line will provide the most concise, accurate and current information on the status of classes and university offices during storms. Subsequently, decisions to cancel classes, postpone events or close the campus will be provided to local media outlets:

Supervisors are encouraged to review storm procedures with employees who are deemed critical for operations even when the campus is officially closed.
Snow or low temperatures normally are not reasons to close the university, but significant amounts of snow might warrant a delayed start. Snow combined with severe wind chills and blizzard conditions also may warrant closing the university.
The following actions may be taken by NDSU:
• NDSU will be in full operation and all events will take place as scheduled.
• Morning, afternoon or evening classes at NDSU may be canceled or all classes may be canceled for the entire day. All other aspects of the university will operate as usual when classes are canceled.
• NDSU will be closed until noon or a specific time, or NDSU may be closed for the entire day. In this situation, designated emergency personnel whose responsibilities require they be on duty have been identified by their supervisor.
Announcements regarding afternoon classes will be made by 11 a.m.
