• Only a President or Acting President of a member college may cancel classes on a single campus
  • Any President or Acting President shall inform the member Colleges and may initiate a request to cancel classes on the other campuses by contacting the Chair of the Council of Presidents
  • Upon receiving notice of cancellation or a request to cancel classes, the Chair of the Council shall convene the Council at the earliest possible time—either by personal meeting or by telephone conference—to discuss the scope, duration, and nature of the interruption, as well as the process for communicating the resumption of classes
  • If possible, any announcement canceling classes should include a statement about how or when canceled classes will be made up
  • The Chair of the Council of Presidents bears responsibility for communicating any such interruption at the earliest possible time (and in any case prior to the first canceled class hour) to the following at each of The Claremont Colleges:
    • The Office of the President:
    • The Office of the Dean of Faculty;
    • The Office of the Registrar; and
    • The CEO of TCCS shall also be notified
  • Notice shall be given by telephone and by email
  • The Council of Presidents should inform students and faculty both by email and by posting the cancellation notice in prominent places (for off-campus students)
  • The Registrars’ Committee of The Claremont Colleges may be helpful in scheduling makeup times and places, particularly if more than one campus is involved. This protocol was drafted and adopted by the Council of Presidents of The Claremont Colleges on June 9, 2004.
