What happens when scheduled face to face class is canceled by the Instructor or the University?

In the event that a schedule face to face class is canceled, it is imperative that all course instructional goals are still met.

If the instructor must cancel a class, the instructor must email all students, using the email option in Canvas for the course being canceled.  In addition, the site where the class is to be held and the Program Chair are to be notified.   If the cancellation is less than 1 hour before the class is to start, please contact the site where the class is being held (in case students arrive).  The contact information for the sites is listed under “clear communication…”.

Clear communication when canceling a class is essential:

  • When an instructor cancels a class:  To cancel a face-to-face class, please post an announcement and email your students through your course’s LMS (Canvas) site, contact your Program Chair, and contact the site office if the cancellation is within 30 minutes of the class.  The instructor is responsible for notifying students regarding the work for the canceled class (how it will be presented and handled by the instructor and the expectations for the students) must be indicated in the message to the students.
  • When the University cancels a class or posts a “Cyber Day” on the calendar:  Many face-to-face instructors will choose to shift to a modified online format with the instructor providing assignments, communicating with students and even posting examinations via Canvas in place of a face-to-face class session.  Some instructors will choose face to face make up class sessions.  Contact the appropriate Site Director to schedule a classroom during reading week. Clear communication with students regarding make-up sessions is essential.
