Snow Days
In the event of widely disruptive snow conditions, the normal response for the Polytechnic will be a delayed opening time of 10.00 am and this decision will be made by the Chief Executive (or a delegate) by 7.00 am.
The decision to delay start will be based on the following:
- Police suggestion for people to stay home
- Whether buses are running
- Schools have a delayed start
- If the Southern Motorway is closed
Road information is available on 0800 444 449.
Only if the weather situation has not cleared will the Polytechnic be closed. This decision will be made by 9.30 am.
Announcements about a delayed opening or full closure of the Polytechnic will be made on More FM 97.4 radio station from 7.30 am at the latest. These announcements will be updated half hourly up until the 10.00 am broadcast.
The Otago Polytechnic website will be updated with the latest situation.
