Procedures announced for operations during inclement winter weather

The UGA community is reminded of procedures for announcing operational changes during periods of inclement winter weather.

By policy, the university makes one of three announcements: UGA is open and operating on a regular schedule; UGA is closed; or UGA will delay opening until a specific time. An all campus e-mail is the primary means to distribute such announcements. The announcement also is posted to the UGA home page (www.uga.edu).

Up-to-date information is provided to Athens radio stations as follows: on the AM dial—880, 960 and 1340; and on the FM dial—88.9, 90.5, 91.7, 97.9, 102.1, 103.7 and 106.1. Information is posted on University Cable Channel 15, which also is carried on channel 15 of the cable system serving Clarke and Oconee counties. Athens radio stations are used primarily because they give priority to UGA announcements where Atlanta stations cannot. Atlanta TV and radio stations that have requested to receive UGA weather announcements also are notified, but should not be considered a primary source for closing announcements.

When the UGA is officially closed, it is closed for everyone: faculty, staff and students. Departments will designate in advance those employees expected to report to work during a weather emergency.

Announcements for weather closing at UGA campuses in Gwinnett, Griffin and Tifton are handled by those campuses, separately from the main campus announcements.
