University closing notification

Snow and emergency procedures

If a major emergency occurs in which the health and safety of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth community are at risk, the University will activate its to instantly contact students, faculty, and staff. All students, faculty, and staff are urged to to review your contact information for this important notification service. Click here for more information on closing procedures.

It is the policy of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø to maintain services, conduct business, provide instruction and research on a normal basis throughout the year without compromising the safety and welfare of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. In some instances emergencies arise which require the University to determine if it is prudent and reasonable to offer classes or require faculty and staff to report to work. In those instances, the Chancellor or their designee, based on input from the Emergency/Storm Management Team, will make a decision regarding the appropriate campus response.

Please do not call the Â鶹¹ÙÍøD Police. Their lines must remain open for emergencies.
