Dear Colleagues,

With winter upon us, I wanted to remind you of our Inclement Weather Policy, which can be found at: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/campus-services/public-safety/inclement-weather-policy.cfm.  I would like to bring to your attention several aspects of this policy.

First, under our policy, the Law Center will not follow the Federal Government’s schedule with respect to closings, and will continue to make weather-related decisions separate from those of the main campus.  The Law Center will make its own determination on closings, cancellations, liberal leave and late openings due to inclement weather, giving primary consideration to the safety of our faculty, staff, students and visitors.

Second, when Georgetown Law announces a delayed opening, the Law Center will open at 11 a.m. and classes will run as originally scheduled.

Whenever inclement weather impacts the ability to hold classes physically at the Law Center, the Law Center will use Instructional Continuity as the means to continue its teaching mission through the use of technology.   For details on how to use Instructional Continuity, click here: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/campus-services/ist/communications/zoom/upload/Instructional-Continuity-Guidance-revised.pdf.

All notifications concerning school closure or delayed openings will be made through the HoyAlert emergency notification system that sends notifications by email and text message.  If you have not enrolled in HoyAlert, I urge you to enroll at: http://emergencymanagement.georgetown.edu/HOYAlert.

Announcements concerning weather-related closings or delayed openings will also be posted to the Georgetown Law homepage (http://www.law.georgetown.edu/), recorded on the main switchboard number, (202) 662-9000<tel:(202)%20662-9000>, and the class cancellation line (202) 662-9446<tel:(202)%20662-9446>, and sent via the Law Center’s e-mail system.

Thank you, Bill Treanor
