Finals & Bad Weather, Part II

To followup on yesterday's blog post, if you need to stay in the residence halls an extra day due to the bad weather, you can contact your Resident Director (RD) to make arrangements. Additionally, Stetson Hall East dining hall will be open until 7:00 PM tonight as will the Curry Student Center Food Court per the NU Alert that went out this morning.

Finals & Bad Weather

What happens if Final Exams get cancelled tomorrow due to bad weather? With a major snowstorm coming into town and the worst weather expected from 1 PM onward, there is a chance that afternoon exams might be cancelled. The NUAlert system will help notify students, faculty, and staff of a closing as will the Northeastern website and local media. Should exams be cancelled, they would be held on Monday.

But what happens to students who have to leave their residence hall because it's closing? Or students who had planned to leave town and can't because the inclement weather causes massive cancellations and delays at the airports, delays and cancellations with Amtrak, and delays and cancelations at the bus terminal? That's up in the air, but RSA is working to find answers.

No Rush with Laundry Bucks...

There's no need to rush to use up all your Laundry Bucks! Over the weekend, the Housing Services Committee heard that students were trying to get rid of their Laundry Bucks before the end of finals when they would expire -- however, this is not necessary! Laundry Bucks will rollover semester-to-semester, expiring at the end of the Northeastern University fiscal year (end of Summer I.) If you still have Laundry Bucks left, you'll find them there in the Spring with an additional $45 added on.
