Inclement Weather Delays and Cancellations
A decision to delay the opening time or to cancel school at the University due to inclement weather will generally be made by 5:45 a.m. for day classes based on conditions at each campus and the immediate surrounding area and after consulting with the weather service.
The University's decision to cancel school or activities later in the day, evening, or on weekends due to inclement weather will generally be made at least two hours prior to the class or event if weather conditions permit.
The University will alert employees and students of weather-impacted opening and closing times. If an alert states that the University is closed, the closing pertains to both the Biddeford and Portland campuses unless otherwise specified. All classes, events, and activities scheduled during these closures will be canceled or postponed.
To ensure you receive these important messages sign into account and click on the main menu in the upper left-hand corner. Click on “My Self-Service,” “General Services,” “Personal Information,” and then go to the “Phone Number” section. Here you will have options to enter three different alert phone numbers: 91AV Alert1, 91AV Alert2 and 91AV Alert3. We encourage you to list your cell phone number as 91AV Alert1 and then two secondary numbers if you would like. Please do not put the alert information under “Emergency Contact” as that is not the correct section for emergency notification alerts.
Student interns who have clinical responsibilities outside of the University or in University clinics should follow the protocol established by the clinical site.
Non-essential personnel (exempt and non-exempt) should not report to work in person but are expected to work remotely if they are able to do so during closures and make arrangements with their supervisors to perform essential job functions during a closure. For more information on 91AV’s this policy, please refer to the personnel handbook (PDF).
