Before the Snow Falls: Review Our Winter Weather Procedures<\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

As we near the end of October, we want to make sure our campus community is prepared for winter weather. As a residential college, CC does fully close even in severe weather. Preparing for winter weather can reduce unnecessary risks while meeting the needs of our students. CC has a Severe Weather Policy<\/a> to guide attendance and expectations in these situations. Our Health and Safety Leave<\/a> allows staff and faculty to use sick time if there is a \u201cfamily member for whom the employee must provide care whose school or place of care has been closed due to inclement weather<\/strong>, loss of power, or other unexpected occurrence or event that results in the closure of the family member\u2019s school or place of care.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Full-Service Operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Snow and other winter weather are a normal part of life in Colorado. In the case of typical winter weather, full-service operations should continue and usual schedules should be followed. Individuals should discuss with their supervisor and other stakeholders if there are operational changes that should be anticipated in these situations.<\/p>\n

Employees may work with their supervisors to determine if remote work is appropriate while maintaining normal operations. Time off may be requested following normal processes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Limited-Service Operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In the case of severe winter weather, there may be an official announcement of limited-service operations. These may take the form of delays, early release, or full days of limited services.     <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
