Emergency Procedures

As we prepare for a possible hurricane, CBS students and faculty should review the following procedures: 

1. If you do not feel safe coming to class, please do not endanger yourself, whether or not your class is canceled.

2. We will use the STS Registrar notification system to advise you of canceled classes:
3. We will also post a voice recording on the ORE phone system: 1-860-243-9465.

If you are able to access neither the online system nor the  telephone system, please use your judgment. In no circumstances should you endanger yourself to get to class if conditions are not safe.

Remember that conditions will vary from city to city within the state, and so even if it seems safe in your neighborhood, classes may need to be canceled. If the power is out in class buildings or ice cannot be removed from parking lots, we will cancel class for your safety.

It is your responsibility to find out whether class is being held. We will do everything possible to keep you informed about the status of your class during weather incidents, using the online and telephone systems we've put in place for this purpose.

In the event of a real emergency, though, we may not be able to use these alert systems. (Telephones and computers may be out.) Please use your best judgment and STAY SAFE.
