Inclement Weather Policy
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Johns Hopkins University follows the closings of the public school systems within which Osher classes are held. School systems make their determination by 6:00 a.m. Always listen for information if inclement weather is forecast, as well as the day after a weather event. Last minute changing weather conditions might necessitate a deviation from our stated weather policy. When in doubt, call our phone/voice mail to get the most up-to-date information on the status of our classes.
