Special Circumstances

Inclement Weather

SHSU Online is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff and visitors. Personal safety is an important consideration when evaluating the ability to continue on-ground operations during instances of inclement weather. At times, severe weather may result in closures to university facilities, roads and/or services.

When the campus is partially or completely closed due to inclement weather, a notification will be posted to Blackboard and/or SHSU Online's home page detailing the effect upon the SHSU Online Support Desk. We will attempt to continue offering technology support services through inclement weather, via email support from inquiries received from blackboard@shsu.edu.

If weather conditions do not allow for such support, then an announcement on Blackboard will outline that there is no technology support available and give an estimation of when technology support may resume.

Students and Faculty are encouraged to check Blackboard and/or SHSU Online Support Desk page frequently during inclement weather conditions for an update on the effect upon technology support services.
