In the event that inclement weather occurs, the president of Southern Wesleyan University, in consultation with the Vice President and Dean for AGS, Regional Administrators, and local student services coordinators will determine whether or not the offices and academic programs for AGS will operate on schedule, delay opening, or be closed.

This decision will be made after 3:00 p.m. and announcements regarding adjustments will be broadcasted over local radio and television stations. Both students and faculty are advised to call the SWU Inclement Weather Information Hotline at 1-864-644-5998.

The following procedures should be implemented if inclement weather or unsafe conditions exist on the day of a scheduled workshop:

1. The class representative will initiate a telephone call to the Southern Wesleyan Inclement Weather Information Hotline after 3:00p.m. in order to obtain a decision related to whether or not workshops will be in session or have been cancelled.
   
2. The telephone number for the Inclement Weather Hotline is 1-864-644-5998. After dialing the number, the class representative will press 2 for the AGS Menu, then:

   Students attending class in Central, press 1
   Students attending class in Charleston, press 2
   Students attending class in Columbia, press 3
   Students attending class in Greenville, Press 4
   Students attending class in North Augusta, press 5
   All other AGS locations, press 6

3. The class representative will then convey the decision to fellow classmates via telephone and/or email.

4. Canceled workshops must be made up. The faculty member, class representative, and students should reach a consensus on an alternate meeting time (i.e., Saturday morning.)

5. The class representative and faculty member will contact the Student Services Coordinator at the respective location to make arrangements for an alternate meeting time and location. The Student Services Coordinator will communicate the available time and location to both the class representative and faculty member. The class representative will notify fellow classmates via telephone and/or e-mail.

6. If classes are already in progress and weather conditions worsen, the Student Service Coordinator will notify the instructor and the instructor will announce the information to the class. Each student will use his/her best judgment as to whether or not he/she needs to leave class.
