Inclement Weather Policy 

<< Back

Due to the residential nature of our campus community, Emory & Henry College will rarely alter its class schedule because of inclement weather. However, when poor weather conditions exist, the College will follow these procedures:

  1. Information will be distributed through the Campus Alert System. This is the College's preferred message for communicating emergency messages and College community members are strongly encouraged to sign-up for this free service.
  2. Information will be posted on the College homepage, www.ehc.edu.
  3. An announcement of any alteration in the class schedule will be made on WCYB-TV 5 (Bristol), WJHL-TV 11 (Johnson City),  WOLD-FM 102.5 (Marion), WABN 92.7 (Abingdon). The message on the College's switchboard number (944-4121) will also be changed to notify callers of an altered schedule.
  4. If Emory & Henry College is open, but Washington County schools are closed, the faculty are asked to employ a lenient attendance policy for commuter students.
