Campus Closure
The Senior VP Administrative & Support Services will make the final decision for campus closure. Normally, such action will be taken in conjunction with the decision to provide alternative arrangements for in-person classes.
“Campus Closure” means: alternative arrangements are made for in-person classes; meetings and other scheduled events are cancelled; in-person examinations are cancelled and to be rescheduled; staff (other than those providing essential services) are not expected to be at work in person.
Campus closure notices will be posted. Employees may also call the Employee Hotline (416) 226–6620 ext. 7669 (“SNOW”) or check their Tyndale email for notifications.
