Cancelled Classes
If illness, or any other unforeseen situation, prevents an
instructor from conducting class, the SCS office (Chicago:
(312) 503-6950, Evanston (847) 491-5611) must be contacted
as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the instructor
to contact all students and notify them of cancelled classes.
The most efficient way to contact students is online, via
the Blackboard course management system. In certain circumstances,
SCS staff can assist in the contacting of students.
If an instructor knows they will be unable to conduct
class a day or more prior to meeting, they are responsible
for setting a make-up date for the class, or for recruiting
and compensating a qualified substitute, in cooperation
with the appropriate SCS academic director. A make-up date
for the missed class must be arranged in consultation with
the students.
If an emergency arises and the instructor is unable to
contact SCS in advance of class, it is their responsibility
to call the SCS office as soon as possible.
Snow cancellations
SCS
classes rarely close because of snow or other weather-related
emergencies. However, if
an unprecedented event should force the closing of classes,
instructors may call either of the SCS offices for information
or check www.scs.northwestern.edu.
