The TTU President or his designee is the only person authorized to close Texas Tech University.

If the President decides to close the campus, TTU faculty, staff, and students will be notified as quickly as possible.

Updated information will be available at www.ttu.edu and the TTU switchboard (2-2011).

Department heads should share electronic notices with those without computers.

Department heads should maintain lists of faculty and staff home phone numbers to facilitate off-campus notification.

Individual classes should be cancelled as a last resort AFTER consultation with the Dean and Provost

Classes in a building that has been closed or evacuated should be moved to other buildings on campus, unless a campuswide emergency exists.

Parents should call the Dean of Students Office 806-742-2192, or the TTU Police Department 806-742-3931.
