Inclement Weather Policy


Indiana University of Pennsylvania is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. As such, the decision whether the university should close or remain open during periods of adverse weather conditions is based on the overall concern for the university community. In general, however, IUP's practice will be to remain open and to conduct classes and business as usual during periods of inclement weather.

Closure of the University: Should adverse weather conditions arise or be anticipated that would make it inadvisable to operate the university on a given day, the president may, at his discretion, close the institution (i.e., cancel all classes and on-campus activities at all campuses). In the event of either a full or partial day closure, notification will be provided to the following radio and television stations: WDAD Radio (Indiana), WCCS Radio (Homer City), WJAC-TV (Johnstown), KDKA-TV and KDKA Radio-1020 AM (Pittsburgh), and WTAE-TV and WTAE Radio-1250 AM (Pittsburgh).

Cancellation of IUP-Sponsored Activities or Events in the Absence of University Closure: Should adverse weather conditions arise or be anticipated that would make it inadvisable to conduct an IUP- sponsored activity or event on a date when the university otherwise remains open, the sponsoring unit/department has the option to cancel or postpone the function. The sponsoring unit/department also assumes responsibility for notifying event participants of the cancellation/postponement in an appropriate and timely manner.
