Does UK cancel classes in the event of severe winter weather?
The University rarely shuts down or even alters its class schedule. In the event of severe weather, the executive vice president for finance and administration consults with UK Police and local authorities and considers road conditions and availability of public transportation before making a decision. Some University operations can never shut down, including the residence halls, UK Hospital, UK Police, and physical plant operations. Announcements about the cancellation of class or delay of classes will normally be made by 6 a.m. Students can call the UK Infoline at (859) 257-5684, check UK local cable channel 16 and 19, visit www.uky.edu, listen to WUKY-91.3, or check local radio and television stations to find out if classes are in session or not. UK Alert will also be used to notify subscribers of weather delays and closings. Visit www.uky.edu/UKAlert to sign up.
