Information about an OSU-Cascades closure or curtailment will be noted in an alert bar on the OSU-Cascades home page and Emergency Status page.
The Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport will post weather closure or curtailment information on its website by 6:30 a.m. OSU Portland Center employees will be notified of closures by email.
The university will make every effort to announce closure or curtailment decisions as soon as possible. The information will be distributed or posted by 6:30 a.m.

Unless otherwise communicated, employees are to assume that the university is open and that they are to report to work, whether on-site or in their supervisor approved, designated remote work status. If the campus is closed, Supervisors will confirm with employees who are currently assigned to on-site work if the employee work is conducive to a remote work arrangement. Employees who are already working remotely may continue to do so as normal.
