Home > Current Students > Emergency Closing Procedures
At Southern State we take your safety seriously. This page contains details about weather closings, however a broad range of security-related information can be accessed via following link:
Note: Messages will be displayed on Southern State's home page in the event of an emergency situation.
Weather-Related Closings
The following is the plan for closing campuses during inclement weather:
- If one campus is closed all day, all campuses will be closed.
- If one campus has a delayed opening, all campuses will have a delayed opening.
Clarification of Delay
-
If classes are on a 2-hour delay, your 8 am class is cancelled; report to classes scheduled at 10 am and thereafter.
-
Delays may later be changed to closings. Therefore, check for update of initial announcement before leaving home.
-
If, after the start of classes, the weather becomes inclement during the day and the health and safety of the students and staff will be affected, the Vice President of Academic Affairs and campus directors have the authority to dismiss classes for the rest of the day on his/her campus only. The Vice President of Academic Affairs or director will immediately notify all other campus locations and all radio stations in the service area so that students who take classes on more than one campus have the correct information. It often takes some time between the telephone calls to the radio/TV stations and the time a student may hear or see it on radio/TV. Tune to alternative stations or call the campuses for a recorded message.
-
Faculty may, at their discretion, schedule a makeup class(es) or add extra assignments so that the course requirements will not be affected by the cancellation of the class(es).
-
When final exams are cancelled due to inclement weather, the instructor will notify students of a rescheduled exam date.
-
Students and campus personnel may listen to the local radio and TV stations (listed below). Students are advised to listen to or watch more than one station since the announcement is at the discretion of the station. Several of the TV and radio stations keep a list of delays and closings on their websites. To access one of the listed radio/TV station's website, choose from the selections below.
- Students may also call Southern State. A recorded message will provide details on delays and closings, as soon as a decision has been made.
