If severe weather makes travel to or from campus unsafe this winter, the provost will make the decision to announce a shift to remote classes. In nearly all cases, classes will continue to be offered online.<\/p>\n

In the case of a delayed in-person start, university offices will not open until an announced time in the day, most often 10 a.m. or noon<\/strong>. Students are not required to report to campus prior to the announced start time, but are expected to attend class online before the start time. If in-person classes are not held that day, students are expected to attend class online. You should expect to receive information from your professors on how to access remote learning.<\/p>\n

The following is our process for announcing when there is a delayed in-person start or a shift to remote classes and work. The provost will make the decision by 6:30 a.m.<\/strong> for the Newberg campus and Portland Center for daytime classes or 2:15 p.m.<\/strong> for evening classes. Decisions on weekend classes and at the Redmond site will be made by the professor.<\/p>\n
