- The University rarely closes because of snow, tornadoes, or hurricanes. If the weather is severe enough to make you think that you should leave, do so after notifying your supervisor. However, if you leave before the University officially closes, you will not be paid for the time not worked.
See Human Resources Policy #301, Work Schedule Affected by Weather Conditions .
If you are the Circulation supervisor on evenings or weekends, see (4.) below. - If the University intends to close due to inclement weather, the Library Administrative Office will send out a voice message to all staff indicating the time at which the University will officially close, as well as any other pertinent information such as when the University will reopen.
- For information on University closings or delayed openings, due to weather conditions, call the University telephone number (408 - DUSC).
- Guidelines for Library Hours and Inclement Weather (Appendix 10):
- When the University is closed, the Library will be closed.
- On regular working days, when the University has any delayed opening, the Library will delay its opening.
- When University staff are excused, but classes have not been officially canceled, the Library, as an academic body, may remain open*. Services may be curtailed due to limited staffing.
