How and When Decisions are Made
When inclement weather is predicted in the Raleigh, N.C. area, members of Meredith’s senior management team use multiple sources to review weather reports, monitor road conditions both on- and off-campus, and consult with other appropriate local officials to determine whether schedule changes are necessary.

Decisions to cancel classes, close administrative offices or delay the opening of campus are typically announced by 6 a.m. If it becomes necessary to make a change once the initial decision is announced, as much notice as possible will be given.
