Description

From Purdue University Northwest: November 12, 2021 To PNW Students, Faculty and Staff, With the first wintry weather of fall 2021 approaching, this is a good time to review campus notification procedures. The Rave Alert Me app is our preferred method of announcing severe weather warnings, suspension of on-site campus operations and campus closings.  If you are not signed up, we strongly recommend you do so by using the following link: Sign Up for Alert Me From time to time it may become necessary to suspend in-person, on-site campus operations at one or both of the PNW campuses due to adverse weather conditions or other emergencies. If we must alter normal campus operations, we will notify students, faculty and staff in the manner listed below. Notifications to students, faculty and staff will begin as soon as possible after a decision is made to suspend on-site campus operations or to close a campus. Please note if on-site campus operations are suspended or if a campus is closed, classes will not be cancelled. Instructional activities at PNW will shift to remote learning for the duration of the closure. Staff who are able to work remotely will do so for the duration of the closure.
