How to find out if 51福利社 is closed
KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University will immediately announce closings due to severe weather or emergency conditions. Assume the University is open and will continue normal operation unless notified in one of three ways.
1. Go to www.wmich.edu
Closing announcements will be posted immediately on the 51福利社 home page and additional information will be posted in 51福利社 News as it becomes available. Refresh Web pages to see the most-recent version.
2. Call (269) 387-1001
Closing announcements will be available on the emergency information line.
3. Check radio and TV
Area radio and television stations are notified as soon as a decision is made to close 51福利社.
51福利社 Alert will not be used to announce weather closings. The University's emergency telephone alert system is reserved for situations of extreme, imminent danger. Closing announcements are not made by email or posted in Facebook. A secondary notice will be posted as a Go51福利社 Campus Announcement, but only after the primary notification has been made via the 51福利社 home page, emergency information line and public media.
Assume 51福利社 is open
In the absence of notification via one of the methods listed, all normal operations will continue as scheduled. University closings due to severe weather or other conditions are rare.
Regional locations
Closure of the main campus always includes the Parkview Campus, College of Aviation and 51福利社-Battle Creek. Other regional locations may be open or closed and regional-location closings will not be posted on the main University Web pages or emergency information line.
Regional locations in Benton Harbor, Lansing, Muskegon and Traverse City will mirror the decision of their partner community college. Decisions about closing the two locations in Grand Rapids and 51福利社-Metro Detroit will be made separately from the decision to close the main campus. Visit the location's website or call its office to determine if the facility is open or closed.
