Dear Colleagues,

We are writing to address some confusion around the inclement weather closures planned for early next week, and in particular, work and leave guidelines. 

Monday marks the start of the spring semester at UMBC. All employees should refer to the Guidance for Employees section and matrix at the bottom of the Inclement Weather and Emergency Closing Guide. If you have a telework or remote agreement you should work virtually (unless arrangements have been made with your supervisor). Please see the matrix for further information. 

We ask that supervisors be flexible as conditions change and responsibilities vary. Instructors are asked to be flexible with students, particularly on Tuesday, as some students may still be returning due to weather conditions in their areas. Your safety is our top priority.

We will be closely monitoring weather conditions over the weekend and will communicate when and if anything changes.

Sincerely,

Manfred H.M. Van Dulmen
Provost

Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
