When inclement weather occurs, the Manager and Public Services Manager of Student Computing Services will monitor weather conditions and inform employees at the labs of any University schedule changes or closings. The Manager and Public Services Manager of Student Computing Services will track weather conditions by viewing announcements available through View on UKCC and by monitoring weather reports made by local news media and NOAA.

If Student Computing Services employees are unsure as to whether or not to come to work, they should tune into local radio or television stations and listen for any announcements regarding the University of Kentucky. Additionally, the UK INFOLINE at 257-5684 will have the latest information about University schedule changes and closings.

If the University announces that it is on a "Plan B" schedule and classes are in session, Young Library Computer Lab will be open. Other labs may or may not be open depending upon their location. Employees of these labs will need to contact either persons working at the lab or their lab manager to see what the plans are for that day.

If the University announces that it is on a "Plan B" schedule and classes are not in session, then King Library and all branches, including the labs administered by Student Computing Services, will be closed.

Employees and patrons should use their own judgment if it looks as if it is unsafe to remain in the computer lab. For example, the window areas of the Business and Economics Lab could potentially be unsafe during high winds.
