The announcements will also be posted on the CUNY web site at www.cuny.edu, will be
made available through 311, as well as a Baruch hot line at (646) 312-INFO.
If
classes are canceled, all staff, except those designated as essential
to provide emergency coverage, are released without charge to leave
balances.
The Security Office (646) 660-6000 is open 24 hours a
day; the College switchboard (646-312-1000) will also be staffed for
emergency coverage.
When changing conditions require early
closing during the workday, Human Resources will notify each office
directly by telephone or e-mail, and the radio stations will alert
students and faculty members about canceled evening classes.
