June 6: UDid It! Picnic
2FA protects you
UD Facilities staff have been treating and clearing campus parking lots and sidewalks since 4 a.m., Monday. As of 7 a.m., some areas of the campus are still icy, but these surfaces are expected to improve as temperatures rise during the day.
Members of the community are reminded to be cautious when traveling today and exercise their best judgment.
Personal safety
Safety is UD's highest priority. Faculty, staff and students should not put themselves at risk, and employees who expect difficulty traveling should contact their supervisors.
Faculty members unable to hold class should notify their departmental offices, and students unable to attend class should contact their professors. In such cases, UD policy states that students should be allowed to make up missed class time and canceled classes should be rescheduled when possible.
The University's policy is reprinted below:
Faculty and students are not expected to take unnecessary risks to meet their teaching and learning obligations due to inclement weather. When classes have not been canceled, it is a matter of personal judgment whether traveling to campus is hazardous. Faculty should notify their departmental offices when weather precludes them from meeting their teaching obligations; similarly, students should notify their professors when inclement weather precludes them from class attendance. In such cases, students should be allowed to make up missed class time and, whenever possible, canceled classes should be rescheduled.
