University Criteria for Weather-related Shifts to 远程

In evaluating whether to shift to remote for weather-related reasons, the following criteria are used: 1) the ability of the university’s road crews to keep campus roads and parking lots cleared; 2) the 条件s of primary and secondary roads in the area as reported by the Michigan Department of State Police as well as by central dispatch authorities in Kent and Ottawa counties;  3) weather reports regarding the track of the storm and other 条件s, and 4) the anticipated length of time of the weather impacts campus operations

Because commuting students, faculty and 工作人员 come from such a broad geographic area, it is extremely difficult to arrive at a decision that is appropriate for each vicinity. 天气状况很少 uniform throughout this large area. 的re is no one decision that will satisfy everyone; however, a diligent effort is made to arrive at a reasonable decision that considers the safety of students, faculty and 工作人员. Under no circumstances does GVSU ask students, faculty or 工作人员 to assume undue risk in traveling to the University in inclement weather.

When GVSU Allendale shifts to remote because of weather-related 条件s, the Pew Grand Rapids Campus, Health Campus and the Meijer Holland Campus will also shift to remote.

GVSU’s classes in Muskegon and the Stevenson Center for Higher Education will follow the operating status of Muskegon Community College.

GVSU’s classes in Traverse City and the office in the NMC University Center will follow the operating status of Northwestern Michigan College.

的运行状态 Annis Water Resources Institute (AWRI), the Muskegon Innovation Hub and the Detroit Center will be made separately, as these facilities host tenants, business events, and functions not necessarily affiliated with university operations.
