<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">In the event of a severe weather or other emergency in which the police request that UNMC keep people off the streets in Omaha, the Chancellor will officially close the campus and cancel classes including College of Nursing classes.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">UNMC, as a health sciences center, has a number of activities that must be kept operational regardless of the weather conditions. These include activities that directly and indirectly support patient care at the hospital and clinics, as well as many research and educational functions. Because so many employees must report, regardless of the weather, the determination has been made for the entire campus to be considered open and operational, even when other University of Nebraska campuses and area businesses may be closed. (UNMC Inclement Weather Policy, retrieved January 17, 2018 from https://wiki.unmc.edu/index.php/Employee_Leave#Inclement_Weather).</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">In the event that UNMC does not close or cancel classes, but UNO/UNL/UNK (as the case may be) cancels classes, the CON will suspend classes (i.e. if UNO cancels classes, Omaha CON suspends operations; if UNL cancels classes, Lincoln CON suspends operations; if UNK cancels classes, CON Kearney suspends operations; if NECC cancels classes, Norfolk CON suspends operations).  The Assistant Dean, West Nebraska Division (WND), will determine whether classes will be suspended for the WND.</li>
 
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Divisions on other University of Nebraska campuses (i.e., Lincoln, Kearney) will comply with the directions of the Chancellors of those campuses regarding weather related closing.  Divisions located on community college campuses (i.e., Norfolk, Scottsbluff), will follow the directions of the community college leaders for weather related closings.<br /><br />There may be times when a decision must be made by individual faculty about classes or clinical experiences '''when there is no official cancellation'''. In this event, College of Nursing faculty members must make a judgment regarding  having class or clinical experience at this time. In making decisions about class and clinical, faculty should consider that maintaining safety of all is a priority.
<ol>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">In the event that faculty make the decision to cancel class or clinical, they are responsible for notifying their students, the clinical area involved, if appropriate, and the appropriate Program Director, Assistant or Associate Dean, CON Student Services, and the Dean’s office. </li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The faculty members are responsible for '''arranging make-up of classes or clinical experience'''.</li>
