| Campus Closure Procedures for Inclement Weather | |
 |
Winter weather conditions are ahead! Please check out the following information and the website so you'll be prepared in case of a campus closure. The decision to cancel classes due to adverse weather and driving conditions is made by not one individual, but an administrative team that carefully weighs all the factors. It is a decision that is never taken lightly; however, the information on which to base these decisions is admittedly not always complete or accurate. The ability to predict the weather and subsequent driving conditions in a manner that allows the University to make a timely announcement of its plans will likely remain a challenge. Click here (www.boisestate.edu/closure) for more information, such as the general philosophy for weather closures. Closure Procedures HOTLINE: (208) 334-2296 UPDATES: www.boisestate.edu |
