When the Weather Outside is Frightful

When weather conditions are extreme, Capital University will make every attempt to remain open and hold classes. But on occasion, the University must cancel classes or close altogether in the interest of maintaining a safe and healthy living, learning and working environment for all students and employees.



Please be familiar with the University's severe weather operations policy so you know where to go to find the most up-to-date information, and so you know how to respond accordingly. The policy recently was updated with a broader definition of essential personnel and a change in the status of offices when classes and activities are canceled, but the University remains open.

In addition to these updates, the University has added to the tools it will use to communicate official changes in operating status. Capital now will use the following communication tools:

• CapAlert — text message, email, 1-855-CUAlert, and Capital University social media accounts www.facebook.com/capitalu and twitter.com/capital_u (@Capital_U)
• Web site: www.capital.edu 
• Capital University News and Events page: www.capital.edu/news 
• Local media (in case of closing campus)
