With the threat of bad weather coming tonight, there have been some
questions about activities scheduled on campus Saturday morning.  At
this time, scheduled events and activities are still on.  Facilities
and safety crew will be on campus in the morning to sand and salt any
areas that need attention.  Food Services personnel will be prepared to
feed students living on campus.

If there is any change in these plans, we will get out an announcement
as soon as possible.

***At this point, the only class that meets on Saturday, EHLS 302, has
been cancelled.**

This also seems like a good time to remind everyone of the general
policy regarding bad weather and schedule changes.

As soon as a decision is made, the Office of University Relations
contacts the following local television stations:
WDEF Channel 12 (Chattanooga Comcast Cable Channel 13)
WDSI Channel 61 (Chattanooga Comcast Cable Channel 11)
WRCB Channel 3  (Chattanooga Comcast Cable Channel 04)
WTVC Channel 9  (Chattnaooga Comcast Cable Channel 10)

WUTC, FM88.1 will also announce schedule changes.

We will also call as many radio stations as answer.  Many radio
stations no longer operate a news department and their morning staffs
are small. Often our calls to them during bad weather are not answered.

You can also call several phone numbers for up-to-date information. The
main UTC line, 425-4111, will be programmed with current information,
as will the UTC Snow Line, 425-4SNO (4766).  The University Relations
main line, 425-4363 will also be updated.

Additionally, if at all possible, the schedule change will be reflected
on www.utc.edu and a UTCINFO email will be distributed.

Each of these is dependent upon electrical power, phone, and other
utility availability at the homes of the University Relations staff
members.  We will do our absolute best to keep each of these outlets
updated.  If you are in doubt about the schedule, consult multiple
sources.

In the event that the schedule is altered, every effort will be made to
begin classes at a scheduled class starting time.  If the announced
start time does not coincide with a class start time--as is often the
case on Tuesdays and Thursdays--students and faculty should report to
the class in session at the announced opening time.

When we experience bad weather, please be patient, safe, and smart. Use
your best judgement about conditions in your area. Employees who feel
they cannot reach the campus should contact their supervisors.
Likewise, students are advised to contact faculty members if they are
unable to reach campus because of conditions in their area.

Thanks.
