Weather and Storms in General

The official College policy regarding extraordinary weather conditions requires that normal operations be continued as much as possible, that essential College services be maintained, and that College employees remain on duty where necessary to perform essential services. If a decision is made to cancel classes for the day, the campus community will be notified on the official news stations by 5:00 a.m.

Reporting an Emergency

Any natural or human-caused event that threatens life or property should be reported directly to University Police's emergency number at (585) 395-2222. Please note: In the event of an injury to an individual requiring emergency care and transportation, do not call 911 or otherwise directly summon an ambulance. Call University Police at (585) 395-2222. Officers will summon an ambulance if required, and will also manage traffic and related matters. All University Police are trained in first-aid and CPR.

Note to Employees

Under state policy, employee absences resulting from severe weather conditions, including "directed absences," must be charged to personal, overtime, holiday, or vacation accruals, even under circumstances requiring the cancellation of classes or the closing of the College. For more information regarding this policy, visit the Human Resources Web page.
