Class & Course Cancellation

Instructor

If an instructor is ill and a class is cancelled, the instructor will email her/his class with instructions. The instructor will also email all of the academic administrative assistants and Sheila Gustafson in Academic Affairs, so a sign can be posted outside of the classroom.

Registrar

A course for which you have registered may be dropped from the official semester’s course offering due to insufficient enrollment. If this should occur, the Registrar’s Office will notify you so you may revise your registration.

Weather

The Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Senior Vice President for Finance and Management Services may elect to close the college due to severe weather conditions. If the collegewill be closed due to weather, a Rave message is sent out. The Rave information is here:

You can also look at Alverno’s website or listen to the radio or TV for an announcement if the college will be closed. If you live outside the Milwaukee area, contact a friend in the area for the information. If weather conditions are poor and classes are held, we ask you to exercise discretion regarding your safety in traveling to campus. Students not in class can make arrangements regarding homework with their instructors.
