<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">There may be times when due to rapid weather changes or other circumstances, a decision must be made by faculty about classes or clinical experiences '''when there is no official campus closing'''. In this event, College of Nursing faculty members must make a professional judgment regarding the wisdom of having class or clinical experiences at this time. If possible, they should consult with the appropriate Program Director, Assistant Dean, or the Associate Dean for Academic Programs in making the decision. Faculty members who decide to cancel classes or clinical experiences are responsible for notifying their students, the clinical area involved, Student Services office, the College of Nursing Dean’s Office, and '''arranging make-up of classes or clinical experience'''.</li> | |||
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If students arrive at the clinical area and faculty are not present, and the clinical experience has been cancelled, the students should leave and the clinical experience will be made up.</li> | |||
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If faculty and students arrive in a clinical area before an official cancellation, faculty use their judgment in determining whether the clinical experience will continue.</li> | |||
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If a class is delivered across campuses, class will be suspended for all campuses if the campus of origin is closed or has suspended classes.</li> | |||
