About the Academic Continuity Plan
The Academic Continuity Plan is designed to provide solutions for the traditional courses taught at Northwestern in the event of a campus closing during the semester. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) will make the determination and announce whether this plan will be activated.

Possible Online Activities
When a class is cancelled, the activities that were planned for class can be modified and take place online. Review the instructor guide to see what types of online activities would be the best solution. You are not limited to only one type of activity. Choose the appropriate activities that will best represent the class time that you originally planned.
Communication To Students
If you choose to implement an online activity, make sure that you clearly communicate what you are doing and the expectations of the activity to your students via Quickmail, a course announcement, or another communication method.
