Pitt's inclement weather policy

Key elements of Pitt’s inclement weather policy include the following:

• Only the chancellor (or campus presidents for the regional campuses) may close the University officially.

• Employees may use discretion regarding their own safety in getting to work, but 1) must phone their supervisors within the first hour of the workday, and 2) are charged an accrued vacation day or personal day for their absence.

• Cancellation of classes (as was the case last Monday) does not imply that the University is closed.

• If the governor or other local governing official declares a State of Emergency, staff employees will be expected to abide by those directives and will not be required to use accrued vacation or personal time.

• Changes to normal University operations will be announced as early as possible through the news media.
