1 POLICY University Class Cancellation and Closing Procedures Category: Approval: Responsibility: Date: Operations PVP Vice President Administration Date initially approved: Pre-2005 Date of last revision: December 3, 2012 Definitions: Class or Exam Cancellation means that classes or exams are cancelled, normally due to hazardous weather conditions, but that employees report to work as soon as it is safe to do so in accordance with their departmental procedures, so that other university operations may continue. If employees are already at work, they are to obtain permission from their supervisor before going home early during working hours. Special event organizers and departments with practica are responsible to decide whether or not to cancel their activity, and to inform participants. Emergency Closing of the University means that all activities conducted on one or more Trent campus(es) will be cancelled, buildings will be locked and notices posted around campus to that effect. Only Campus Security/G4S Oshawa and designated personnel as defined in the Trent University Emergency Management Plan (i.e. Campus Security, Physical Resources and Information Technology staff and the Emergency Response Team) will be allowed on campus; all others will be evacuated. At the discretion of the Associate Vice-President Students, and if it can be done safely, special provisions may be made for students living in residence. Purpose/Reason for Policy: It is the intent of this policy to provide clear authorities and detailed, consistent procedures to be implemented in the event that a university closure or class/exam cancellation is required. Scope of this Policy: This policy applies to all Trent University activities conducted on Symons, Traill and Oshawa campuses and to all employees, students, contractors, volunteers and visitors to those campuses. The Emergency Management Plan provides additional information. Policy Statement: It is the policy of Trent University to maintain operations as scheduled unless physically prevented by an emergency situation or in a situation, such as severe weather, when there is a significant risk to personal safety. In such cases, class/exam cancellation or temporary closure may be required. 1
2 Responsibilities: The authority and responsibility for canceling classes and/or closing the University rests with the Vice-President, Administration in Peterborough and/or the Associate Dean, Trent in Oshawa for Oshawa. During exams, this decision will be taken in consultation with the Registrar when possible. Class cancellations and emergency closings will be firm and not left to the discretion of individuals or departments. As well, individual Department Heads/Chairs are not authorized to unilaterally close their department or cancel departmental classes or exams. However, decisions to cancel or postpone specific activities or allow individual employees to leave work in specific circumstances of high risk rest with the responsible Department Head/Chair. Due to risk of liability, no special arrangements will be made to continue any events when Emergency Closure of the University is announced. All university employees are to read and follow the provisions of this policy.

Campus Security will specifically determine whether there is a local OPP travel advisory in place and whether Peterborough Transit is expected to or has ceased operations. In either instance, class cancellation is advised. Campus security will contact the Director, Risk Management with a report on the weather before: 0615 on a workday to ensure the decision is broadcast on local radio by 0700 By 3:30 PM to ensure the decision to cancel evening classes is promulgated by 4 PM At least three hours in advance of any exam sessions that are to be cancelled The Director, Risk Management will make a recommendation to the VP Administration or A/Dean Oshawa regarding cancellation or closing.

Campus Security, with the assistance of all available employees, will endeavour to post notices around campus and inform people of the closure/cancellation by cell phone and word of mouth.

In such a situation the OC Cafeteria/Oshawa cafeteria will remain open as a gathering place for stranded persons until safe travel can resume. The Great Hall Cafeteria will be a secondary gathering place. Security will inform Aramark to keep the appropriate gathering place open until further notice. DGCR RESUMPTION OF NORMAL OPERATIONS Once the unsafe or emergency situation has passed, DGCR will update InfoTrent, Website and main university number messages to advise that Trent is operating normally.

If exams are to be cancelled, normally due to inclement weather, the cancellation decision is to be made and MyTrent updated at least three hours in advance of the exam session(s) to be cancelled, including exams held by Disability Services. The Registrar is to ensure this procedure is communicated to students who will be advised to check MyTrent three hours before their exam. In addition, the Registrar is to ensure that the exam schedule notes that any cancelled exams will be rescheduled to the last day of the exam period and students are advised not to book any out of area travel until after that date. To ensure consistent messaging, the following frequently asked questions and answers will be posted on the Registrar s Office site in the portal: Q: (student) If exams aren t cancelled, but I cannot safely drive to campus, or I am late due to transportation delays, what should I do? A: Contact your instructor to make alternative arrangements. Students are advised to leave plenty of extra time to drive to campus for exams, especially during inclement weather. Q: (employee) If exams are cancelled, do I have to come to/stay 7
8 at work? A: Yes, unless advised otherwise by your supervisor. It is your responsibility to contact your supervisor. Q: (invigilator/instructor) What are my responsibilities if exams are cancelled or the university is closed during exams? A: If the university is closed due to inclement weather that results in busses being cancelled and travel advisories issued by the OPP while an exam is underway, instructors or invigilators are responsible to bring to the attention of students the location of emergency transportation and/or accommodations provided by the university, which will be broadcast via the Emergency Communication System. If the university is closed due to any other reason, instructors or invigilators are to follow the directions broadcast via the Emergency Communication System and provide that information to their students. AVP, Physical Resources; AVP, Students; Associate Dean, Oshawa; Registrar Will provide contact phone numbers for one or more managers in their department who will be on-call throughout the exam period. In the event exams are cancelled, Campus Security or G4S Oshawa will inform these on-call managers of the cancellation to ensure that the exam tables set up in the gym are not struck down until rescheduled exams have been conducted.

9 APPENDIX C GUIDELINE TEMPLATE CLASS CANCELLATIONS OR CAMPUS CLOSURE Contact Officer Director, Risk Management Purpose To provide guidance in making a cancellation or closure decision. Guideline Cancellations Class or exam cancellations should be considered when conditions are unsafe for people to get to campus or conditions on campus cannot support those activities (eg. Power failure). If Peterborough or Oshawa Transit has been cancelled, generally due to inclement weather, many of our students cannot get to campus so classes or exams should be cancelled. If there are OPP or local police travel advisories or extreme weather warnings and other PSE institutions are cancelling classes, consideration should be given to cancelling classes or exams. Cancelling classes or exams is very disruptive to students and the academic mission, so the decision to cancel should not be taken lightly. That being said, personal safety is the primary consideration. Closure A campus would be closed if conditions on campus are unsafe for most people. Examples might include widespread fire or flood, uncontrolled violence or extended power outages. Campus closure is extremely disruptive as it would entail finding alternative lodging for students or conference guests in residence.
