Student Handbook Cancellation of Classes

Generally speaking, CLS classes don't get cancelled. It's best to plan on coming, if there's a class scheduled. If we do have to cancel a class, we'll let you know IF we know your e-mail and phone number. So if you move, be sure we know how to get in touch with you

Ferris State University almost NEVER closes, no matter how bad the weather. You've probably heard the Ferris urban legend about the day (sometime in the 1970s) when it snowed, classes were cancelled, and the students in the dorms went on a rampage and did all sorts of damage. Those people are old enough to be your parents, but there are still people around here who remember that, so the weather has to be REALLY BAD before Ferris State University cancels classes.
