What do I do if I need to cancel my class?
STEP 1
A.) If you need to cancel your class, fill out the Class Cancellation Form (this link is also accessible on the Academic Affairs and Faculty/Staff web-pages). Once you have submitted the form, Enrollment Services and Academic Affairs will receive an automatic notification of the class cancellation and will post the necessary signage.

Your name
The course you teach including course pre-fix and title ( i.e. MATH 109, Foundations of Math)
The day, date, and time of the course meeting
The building and room number in which your class meets
STEP 2
Contact your students through Moodle using “Quick Mail” to indicate your plans to make up for the material(s) not covered. Please do not schedule additional class sessions or extend the semester/term.
STEP 3
Receive confirmation of the class cancellation via email. Do not assume your class has been canceled until you receive this confirmation. Your academic dean will also be copied via the confirmation.
