Policy for Inclement Weather Conditions
Only during the most severe weather conditions—which could potentially endanger the safety of students or staff—will OBU consider closing or moving to an inclement weather schedule. The decision to close or to adopt the inclement weather schedule will be made as early as possible and will be released for broadcast on the following radio and television stations:
- KFOR (NBC, Channel 4) Oklahoma City
- KOCO (ABC, Channel 5) Oklahoma City
- KOKH (FOX, Channel 25) Oklahoma City
- KWTV (CBS, Channel 9) Oklahoma City
Announcements will be made via text through the emergency alert system, OBU's Facebook page, Twitter and email. The OBU switchboard operator will be informed of the decision and OBU students and personnel can call the switchboard at 275-2850 for 24-hour information regarding the University’s operating schedule.
