Procedures for Severe Weather and Other Emergency Closings
If it should become necessary to cancel classes or to close Baruch College buildings because of severe weather conditions or other emergencies, the following radio and television stations will broadcast and/or webpost current CUNY messages after 6:00 a.m. on the day involved. Announcements will indicate whether day classes, evening classes, or both are canceled.

The announcements will also be posted on the CUNY web site at www.cuny.edu, will be made available through 311, as well as a Baruch hot line at (646) 312-INFO.
If classes are canceled, all staff, except those designated as essential to provide emergency coverage, are released without charge to leave balances.
The Security Office (646) 660-6000 is open 24 hours a day; the College switchboard (646-312-1000) will also be staffed for emergency coverage.
When changing conditions require early closing during the workday, Human Resources will notify each office directly by telephone or e-mail, and the radio stations will alert students and faculty members about canceled evening classes.
In addition, we recommend that you sign up for CUNY Alert emails, text messages, or voicemails which provide reports as CUNY aggregates them.
