UMaine inclement weather policy and emergency information reminder
Members of the University of Maine community are reminded that the inclement weather policy is online, complete with the best options for getting up-to-date information about delays and class cancellations.
For the most timely notification of weather-related class cancellations or postponements, members of the University of Maine community are strongly encouraged to sign up for text and/or email message alerts. Also note that the UMaine emergency information website has been retooled to provide direct access to emergency action protocols.
Notifications also are posted on the UMaine website and portal; in FirstClass folders (Announcements & Alerts; Provost/Academic Affairs and UMaine Forum); and on University of Maine Facebook and Twitter. These notification options are considered the most reliable options.
In addition, updates can be heard by calling 581.SNOW (1.800.581.SNOW outside the local area), with early morning notifications recorded by 6 a.m., and others made throughout the day. Local media also are notified of UMaine’s weather-related cancellations and delays.
