Central Texas has had its share of bad weather lately -- enough so to call off classes. The most recent cancellation occurred Friday, and classes were delayed the day before. Bobcat Update's Daniel Kittrell tells us about the notification process.

The University News Service either sends a text alert or e-mails students and staff when weather conditions force scheduling changes. On Thursday, classes resumed at ten o'clock, but many students decided to stay home.

A lot of students commute to campus, and when the weather is like this, it can be dangerous to come to school. Commuters, who did show up for class, said getting to campus was difficult and time consuming.

Some students don't see the weather conditions as any big deal. Allejandro Amarilllo says he understands that much of Texas is ill equipped for cold weather, but driving in snow and ice is pretty common across the United States.

If students miss class due to bad weather, they can talk to the Dean of Students about potentially excusing absences. For Bobcat Update, I'm Daniel Kittrell.
