Inclement Weather: In the case of any weather that might cause a disruption in the normal events, Clayton State University has an Emergency Weather Plan that includes the Office of University Relations contacting a wide variety of Metro Atlanta news media outlets that report weather-related closings. In case of a weather related closing, or any other type of emergency closing, the University has an extensive media contact list for such emergency situations. For information about all radio and TV outlets that will be contacted upon closing, please visit the University’s main webpage at www.clayton.edu.

During any potential emergency weather situation, information about Clayton State’s plans will also be available on the University’s web page and through the University’s main telephone number (678-466-4000). Please do not call the Office of Public Safety, or the Office of University Relations. At times of bad weather or other emergencies, University officials make decisions on whether or not to close the campus based on public safety reports and other considerations. In such cases, the safety and security of the majority of students is a prime consideration.

If the University is closed, then classes are cancelled for all students. If the institution remains open, we recognize that there may be special circumstances that pertain to individual students that are more serious than those that apply to the majority. So, students are advised to use their best judgment about their safety and that of their families in those situations, and to consult with individual faculty members about making up lost time. In the event that other instructional sites are closed, every effort will be made to contact students and instructors by phone and/or email.

Invoice Policy: In some instances your company may offer to pay for your course. We can invoice them directly if you supply us with your company’s purchase order or educational voucher. Our policy was implemented for the billing or invoicing of course fees. We will continue to accept cash, checks, and charge cards. However, we have implemented a new policy for company invoicing. We will now invoice the student’s company only upon receipt of one of the following documents:

• Company purchase order. This is the actual purchase order, not just a purchase order number. This may be faxed to us at 678-466-5089.

• Letter of authorization from the student’s company that is written on company letterhead and a signed, completed Continuing and Professional Education Billing Form. This letter must state the student has permission to take the course and that the company guarantees payment.

• Corporate educational voucher (currently being used by large companies such as AT&T, Verizon, IRS, etc.)

Once we have received the purchase order or other paperwork, we will be able to register a student for courses. We will not accept contingent purchase orders, such as “must receive a passing grade OR grade of 75% or better.” If a student is concerned about losing a seat in a class, but must wait for their company to issue a purchase order, we suggest that the student pay with their personal or corporate credit card and seek reimbursement from his/her company.
