Please read this message in its entirety—this communication applies to College operations for only today, February 6.

Due to the hazardous weather, MICA will open at 11:00 a.m. today for normal operations. Classes will begin at 11:00 a.m.

To accommodate on-campus and telework employees who may be experiencing weather-event-related challenges—for example: dependents with delayed school openings or school closures or safety concerns about the physical commute to campus—liberal leave is in effect. Employees who are teleworking are not impacted and should begin work at their regularly scheduled time. Remote and online learning will continue as scheduled. For additional information, please contact your course instructor.  

Liberal leave means that an employee can use their individual accrued leave (personal, floating, or vacation) for hours not worked today, that accommodates their individual situation during a weather event. This applies to on-campus and telework employees. If an individual decides to take leave or if a telework employee needs to flex their working hours, it is expected that they inform and communicate with their department or supervisors so that appropriate coverage and planning can occur. Faculty taking liberal leave must notify their supervisor and their impacted students; a campus-based class session may move to an online platform or may be made up later in the semester.

As always, if you are sick, you are able to use your available sick leave.  Required Attendance Personnel should report as scheduled or assigned.

Dining Services
Operating normally.

Transportation Services
MICA Circulator Shuttle Service will begin at 10:00 a.m., one hour before classes begin.

Since conditions around campus may change throughout the day, MICA will continue to monitor the evolving situation, and will send further communications via email, on the MICA / App, on the website at www.mica.edu and on the College’s social media channels if there are any updates.

MICA will continue to monitor the weather forecast and communicate any changes. Please use caution and your best judgment when traveling. Stay safe.
