CAMPUS CLOSING & CANCELLATION PROCEDURE

Winter weather closings and cancellations policy and procedure
With the potential of inclement weather on the horizon this winter, we would like to share information regarding how decisions are made and the best place to get up-to-date information regarding class cancellations and campus closings.

Ohio State Marion Closing Policy & Procedure:
If a Level 3 snow emergency is declared in Marion County (but not necessarily because of a snow emergency in another county) classes will be cancelled and Ohio State Marion will be closed.

If a Level 1 or 2 snow emergency is declared, Ohio State Marion will make every effort to remain open. However, when conditions reach Level 2, students should pay close attention to the campus website, buckeyemail, campus social media, area radio and TV for updates and announcements. Campus email, social media, web, and broadcast media will carry announcements when all classes are cancelled or the campus is closed.

When classes are cancelled, offices remain open; when the campus is closed, all operations are shut down. Individual class cancellations will NOT be reported to the media; only when ALL classes are cancelled or delayed will the media be asked to make announcements for the campus.

Because Ohio State Marion is a commuter campus and does not utilize public mass transportation, the campus does not close nearly as frequently as area school systems. Closings/cancellations are rare.

Marion Technical College makes weather-related decisions independent of Ohio State. Therefore, students should be certain to listen specifically for Ohio State Marion information.

In the case of both campus closing and class cancellation, students will be emailed.  In the case of individual class cancellations, that will be initiated by the instructor/professor.
