(1030 AM), WRKO (680 AM), WBMX (98.5 FM), WBZ-TV (Ch. 4),
WCVB-TV (Ch. 5), and WHDH-TV (Ch. 7). These are the only
stations authorized to announce University closings and
delayed openings.
Call should not be made to the Campus Police Department or to radio or television stations to verify a University closing. Calls may be made to 353-SNOW (353-7669) to hear a recorded message regarding the closing or delayed opening of Boston University. Calls may also be made to the University switchboard (353-2000).
During the day, the decision to shorten the work schedule due to adverse weather conditions will normally be made by 3 p.m. On such occasions, the Office of Personnel will notify the offices of all vice presidents, deans, and directors so that they may pass the information on to their employees.
Employees in essential services must report as scheduled. Essential services include, but are not limited to, University Police, Buildings and Grounds, Mail Services, University switchboard, and the Infirmary.
Generally, the Boston University Medical Center has a no-close policy and remains open during emergency closings. If the BU Medical Center is to be closed or its schedule altered due to emergency conditions, a separate announcement will be broadcast on the authorized radio and television stations.
