Now that we’re getting bitter hints of last year’s cold at 20 degrees and eight degrees wind chill, it’s also the season to know the facts on Elizabethtown College’s Inclement Weather Policy. A reminder of the policy was distributed through email to the College community yesterday.

According to the College’s website, weather updates “will be posted on the official College Facebook and Twitter accounts, the College website and the Elizabethtown College Hotline (717-361-1988).”

Decisions about delays, cancellations or early dismissals are made before 5:30 a.m. whenever possible and are communicated through the EC Alert system, social media and Headline News emails.

Specific information on inclement weather policies is available in the student, staff and faculty handbooks.

The Headline News email distributed yesterday reminded the campus community that “extreme weather rarely forces delays or cancellations.”
