However, remote\/online courses will not be canceled because of weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>If road conditions are unsafe, employees will be expected to work remotely if they have work that can be accomplished from home. If remote work is not possible, employees should contact their supervisor. If you are unsure whether it is prudent to travel, you should use your personal judgment and make the right decision for yourself regarding coming to work.<\/p>\n<p>The following is our process for announcing when in-person classes are canceled and campus is closed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The provost will make the decision to close campus and cancel in-person classes by 6:30 a.m. for the Newberg campus and Portland Center for daytime classes or 2:15 p.m. for evening classes.<\/li>\n<li>Decisions on weekend classes and at the Redmond site will be made by the professor. Remote\/online classes will be held even if the campus is closed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Major considerations for university closure are road conditions, ice, utility service disruption, and how long the severe weather or emergency is likely to last.<\/p>\n<p>Stay notified!
