During
conditions of a weather
emergency, SUNY College
at Old Westbury will make
every effort to continue
administrative operations.
However, certain conditions
(hazardous roads, inability
to keep parking lots clear)
may force a cancellation
of classes. In almost
every instance, the College
will remain open for other
business. Only the Governor
of the State of New York
is empowered to completely
close a SUNY campus.

Impact
on Employees
While
classes may be cancelled, employees
are expected to report to work.
However, if an employee feels
that hazardous roads or other
conditions make it inadvisable
to attempt to get to campus,
he or she may decide to stay
at home and charge the time
to his or her annual or personal
accruals. Employees exercising
this option must notify their
immediate supervisors. Similarly,
an employee who reports to work
but feels the worsening weather
conditions may threaten his
or her ability to get home safely,
may request permission from
his or her supervisor to leave
the campus early and charge
such missed time to his or her
annual or personal accruals.
Certain “essential” employees
must make every effort to get
to the campus. Essential employees
include those in maintenance,
the heat plant, health services,
food services, and the University
Police Department.
Questions
regarding the College’s
inclement weather policy can
be directed to the Office of
Human Resources at (516) 876-3179.
