Union College has a responsibility to all
parties concerned to meet classes on a regular basis as listed in
the academic schedule. However, it is also to be recognized that
inclement weather may create risks that are not conducive to safe
travel, causing classes to be canceled or adjusted.
Following is the Inclement Weather Policy
in effect for the current year. Although classes may be scheduled for
part of the day, students, faculty, and staff are still cautioned
to use good judgement in regard to their own safe travel.

In the event of inclement weather resulting in
a delayed start for morning classes, college offices will open at
10:00 a.m. and staff is to report at that time. Your personal judgment,
depending on where you live, will need to determine issues of personal
safety in trying to get to the campus. We would not want anyone
to place themselves at undue risk. Please observe the courtesy of
calling your supervisor if you will be late in arriving or unable
to get in to work.
Evening classes will be adjusted as needed and will be announced by 3:00 p.m.
Notification to students and faculty will
be made through the Union College Hotline (call 606-546-1600), Union e-mail, Union text messaging and the Union voicemail system by 6:30 a.m. Union will also notify the following media outlets by 6:30 a.m. for day classes and 3:00 p.m. for evening classes:
In addition to their televised lists of closures and delays, each station maintains a website that includes the same information. If you prefer to check their websites for notices about delays or closures, use the following addresses. On each homepage, the link to weather-related closures and delays is prominently displayed.
