Procedures for the cancellation of classes and absence reporting

Please note the following procedures for the cancellation of classes when instructors report in sick.

On each day of absence due to illness, instructors are asked to:

• Call the Reception (604-323-5511 *0) between 0745 and 1630 hours to report the absence, OR leave a voice mail message in the employee sick call-in mailbox (604-323-5589) between 1630 and 0745 hours.

AND

• Call the designated contact or delegate to ensure that the department is able to deal with classes appropriately.
  • Depending on the time of day, and the lead time before the first class, the Reception will also attempt to contact the department / division chair giving them the opportunity to provide a substitute instructor.
  • Failing that the Receptionist will post a class cancellation message on the web.

Please advise your students that information regarding class cancellations will be posted on the web.

NOTICES WILL NOT BE POSTED OUTSIDE CLASSROOM DOORS.

Thank you very much for your attention in this matter.
