The BAMSI Inclement Weather Policy is designed to give faculty, staff, and students as much flexibility as possible during adverse weather conditions. The Institute will not be considered closed as long as the general population is on campus. Since BAMSI is primarily a residential college, classes are rarely postponed due to weather conditions, except during a hurricane or tropical storm (see Hurricane Preparedness Guide). However, faculty, staff, and students should use good judgment in determining the feasibility of attending classes when weather conditions create safety concerns. If weather conditions prevent class attendance, students are expected to notify professors of their situations. Students assume responsibility for coursework covered during the class period, as well as initiating steps for making up missed work. In the event of inclement weather, BAMSI will endeavor to announce whether classes are on an abbreviated schedule or if classes are cancelled.
Classes Cancelled: no classes will meet, and the announcement will specify the status for both day and evening classes as applicable. Local television and radio stations will be notified when there is a change in the normal hours of operation for the Institute. Faculty, staff, and students will also receive emergency, safety and weather alerts via text and e-mail through the Populi Alert System. Notifications are also posted on the front page of the campus website, Facebook and Twitter.
