It is the policy of UNM-Los Alamos to remain open and to conduct classes in all kinds of weather, unless appropriate authorities have prohibited travel. However, students, faculty, and staff are not expected to take unnecessary risks with their personal safety. Students should inform their instructors if they are unable to make it to class due to inclement weather. Course cancellation notices will be posted on classroom doors. Arrangements to make up any canceled courses will be made at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

On days when there is bad weather, please listen to local radio and television stations for information about UNM-LA. If you do not hear an announcement specifically referring to UNM-LA, then the campus is open and operating on a regular schedule. A delay means that classes scheduled before the late campus opening are CANCESLED (for example, if a two-hour delay is announced, then classes scheduled to start before 10:00 a.m. are cancelled. Classes that begin at or after 10:00 a.m. are on the regular schedule).

Campus delays and/or closings will be announced on the following radio and television stations:

When necessary, a message will also be recorded on the UNM-LA phone system indicating delayed classes or campus closure. Please call 1-800-894-5919 or 662-5919 for inclement weather information.
