Winter
Weather Policy 2009-2010
The faculty and
administration at the University
of Saint Mary value class
time and do not want to cancel classes without warrant.
When snow and ice
make driving hazardous, an e-mail will be sent to all faculty, staff, and
students to clarify if classes are cancelled or would be on a late start
schedule. Additionally, a
recorded telephone message can be heard by dialing extension 6300 on campus,
758-6300 in the local area, by calling the main phone line, 682-5151 or the Kansas City line at
913-772-0843, then press “7” to be transferred to the recorded message. Under
ordinary circumstances we will post this email no later than 5:00 a.m. for
campus day classes and 3:00 p.m.
for evening classes.
All faculty, staff,
and students are responsible to either read their USM e-mail or check the recorded message. We
have two designations; University of Saint Mary – Leavenworth
and University of Saint Mary – Overland
Park. Arrangements
for announcements of class cancellations have been made with the following television
stations.
KMBC TV, KSHB-TV; WDAF-TV;KCTV TV
KCUR FM 89.3 Radio, KFKF FM 94.1 Radio, KBEQ FM
104.3 Radio, KMBZ AM 98.0 Radio and KMXV FM 93.3 Radio and the Kansas City Star
If a late start is
declared, classes will begin at 9:30 a.m. Safety is the utmost concern for
faculty, staff, and students. Please use care when traveling to campus
If you do not hear an announcement, then classes will be
held as regularly scheduled.
