Preparing for weather closings and delays

January 7, 2011

When winter weather strikes this year, students, faculty and staff will be notified of closings and delays through numerous methods.

When a winter storm is moving into the area, campus police and facilities staff monitor weather reports, check road conditions on and off-campus, and consult with city police. Decisions to close the Reynolda Campus or to delay the opening of campus are usually announced by 6 a.m.

Closings or delays are communicated through the following methods:

• Wake Forest website
• Inside WFU website
• E-mail to students, faculty and staff
• Voice mail to faculty and staff
• Weather Line, 758-5935
• 88.5 WFDD
• WSJS, 600 AM
• WXII Channel 12
• WGHP Fox 8
• WFMY News 2
• News 14 Carolina

For more detailed information, including event cancellations, students, faculty and staff should visit the Wake Forest homepage and Inside WFU. In the event of a delay, please continue to check the website and e-mail in case conditions change and the University closes.

Faculty or staff needing to cancel events should contact Kerry M. King (’85) at kingkm@wfu.edu and Mark Anderson at andersmc@wfu.edu.
