Curtailment notification announcements are made by 6 a.m., when possible. The decision to curtail operations is made because road conditions are dangerous, the campus is unprepared for parking and pedestrian traffic, or there are utility and power outages. The decision to curtail typically relates to teaching, research, public service, and administration.

Dining Services
Monday through Friday
If curtailed operations are called in the morning, Philbrook Hall and Holloway Commons dining hall will open at 9 a.m. for service. Stillings Dining Hall as well as all of the retail operations (Gables Convenience, Wildcatessen, Union Court-MUB, Albert's at Kingsbury, Zeke's at the Library, UNH Dairy Bar and Philbrook Cafe) will open when the University reopens. For example, if curtailed operations are called until 10 a.m., Stillings Dining Hall and all of the retail operations will open at 10 a.m. If curtailed operations are called in the afternoon or evening, the dining halls will close at 7 p.m. Stillings Dining Hall and all retail operations will close during curtailed operations and reopen the next available day.
Weekends
If curtailed operations are called on a Saturday or Sunday, Holloway Commons and Philbrook Hall will be open for service both days from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Stilling Dining Hall and all retail operations will remain closed during weekend curtailed operations.
It may be necessary to close dining operations or retail venues early due to inclement weather regardless if curtailed operations is called. Notices will be posted in all facilities as soon as decisions are made.
Use Common Sense
If we do not declare curtailed operations, all offices are open and all classes are held as scheduled. We must naturally make our determination based on available weather forecasts and the predicted condition of the campus and immediate vicinity. If staff consider that traveling conditions near their home are unsafe, they may choose to stay home. They can take vacation or earned time, use accrued compensatory time, make prior arrangements with their supervisor to telework from home, or take advantage of another flexible work arrangement, as outlined in USNH’s Flexible Work Alternatives Policy.
Managers, please refer to Dick Cannon's e-mail in October regarding flexible work arrangements this winter. If faculty find it unwise to come to campus, they should make a special effort to contact their students, especially commuter students, so that no one travels to UNH unnecessarily. Procedures for the reporting of incidents and injuries can be reviewed at http://www.unh.edu/hr/wc.htm#reporting.
Special Events
Patrons or fans of campus events with advance (pre-sold) tickets that are scheduled to be held when UNH is under curtailment are strongly urged to call one of the following venue phone numbers to verify that the event is still being held. Attendees at these events are also urged to pay close attention to weather-related travel advisories and exercise caution in winter weather. The University of New Hampshire cannot be liable for individual decisions to enter the campus during weather-related curtailment of operations. Thank you for your cooperation.
