Communications
There are three ways to learn about any delays, class cancellations or campus closings:
- Flash ALERTS, which anyone who has provided us with a domestic cellphone number will receive. Find out how to set your campus preferences.
- An email to your @kent.edu email account.
- Kent State website. A red bar containing an announcement will appear on the top of the homepage if there is a cancellation or closing.
- Television and radio broadcasts.
Closing Order from the Governor’s Office
At times there has been confusion when the Governor’s Office issues a closing order, or when the local sheriff’s departments have posted snow emergency advisories. A closing order from the Governor’s Office is issued primarily for state office buildings and other state employees in the field. Colleges and universities do not fall into this category. Sheriffs’ departments issue snow emergency levels ranging from one to three. These orders do not apply to employees required to provide essential functions at their workplace.
