Cancelling Classes

In the event that a situation (illness, emergency, etc.) prevents you from meeting a regularly scheduled class, ensure you notify the appropriate parties as soon as possible:

• Contact your manager
• Make every effort to notify each student. Recommendations include making an announcement in Canvas, sending an email to students, and coordinating with colleagues to notify students when appropriate
• If you are unable to reach your manager, notify Public Safety at 612-381-3328 or email publicsafety@dunwoody.ed. If you are teaching an evening course, ask Public Safety to also notify the Manager on Duty

For in-person courses, the person receiving your cancellation may also coordinate a note on the classroom door. For online courses, make every effort to provide a clear announcement and instructions in your Canvas course.

This applies to unexpected, short-term absences. If you will be away for a longer period of time, you will need to work out appropriate coverage for your class(es) with your manager.
