Inclement Weather Information

Campus Emergency Hotline: GOCLASS (458-5277)
(dial x5277 from on-campus extensions)

In case of inclement weather, call the Campus Emergency Hotline above for adjusted class schedules/office operations. When a decision is made to cancel classes and/or alter the University's regular schedule, the Communications Office will place a message on the Campus Emergency Hotline stating changes in the University schedule. Weather-related announcements will also appear on the W&L Web site.

If class schedules have not been adjusted and you do not believe you can safely make it to class or work, do not come. Contact your faculty member or supervisor to explain your absence.

In addition to posting announcements on the Campus Emergency Hotline and the University Web site, the Communications Office will contact the general media and inform them of the change. This is actually the first contact that will be made and the first place you will be able to learn of schedule alterations. Media organizations to be contacted include:

  • WLUR (91.5 FM)
  • WREL (96.7 FM)
  • WVTF (101.9 FM)
  • WMRA (89.9 FM)
  • WDBJ (CBS 7 - Channel 6 in Lexington)
  • WSLS (NBC 10 - Channel 9 in Lexington)
  • WSET (ABC 13 - Channel 12 in Lexington)
  • Cable 18

Please contact the Communications Office at x8460 if you have any questions concerning this plan.
