Inclement Weather Cancellations/Delays Notification

This is a reminder to all Faculty and Staff that in the event of extraordinary inclement weather conditions affecting the normal operations of the University, information regarding cancellations or delays will be disseminated in the following ways:

Notification via the StagAlert emergency notification system
Email through Outlook
Posting on University social channels – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
Posting on employee website portal my.fairfield
Outgoing message on the University main line: 203-254-4000 or ext. 4000

Key Things to Know:

Due to space limitations with voice recordings and electronic messages, the my.fairfield portal will contain the most complete and updated information
Every effort will be made to disseminate information about delays or closings by 6 a.m. if day classes or operations will be affected, and by 2 p.m. if late afternoon or evening classes or operations will be affected.
In order to receive StagAlert notifications, Faculty and Staff should verify or update their mobile phone information on record. This can be done at any time in Workday:

Select the Personal Information application button
Select “Contact Information” under “Change”
Click the Edit button (top of the screen)
Add your mobile phone number under either Primary Phone or Additional Phone by clicking the add button

If your phone number is present and incorrect, or miscoded as “landline” use the edit feature (pencil icon). Only mobile numbers are imported into the alert system. Please provide numbers only (no punctuation or other marks).

Click “Submit” at the bottom of the screen to ensure your changes are submitted.
The StagAlert system’s data is refreshed and updated weekly.

Please be aware that Facilities Management personnel will prioritize their efforts and clear main roadways and main doorways on campus before attending to lesser-used areas. Therefore, you are encouraged to use the main thoroughfares during bad weather whenever possible.
