If the UNCA campus is closed due to inclimate weather, class meeting must be canceled. Campus closings will be posted on the UNCA web page.
If UNCA is on the "late start schedule" due to inclimate weather, lectures will still start at 4:30 pm due to the constraints of the video broadcasting system.
