Public Safety Alerts and Closing Information

Boston Campus Status: Open


General Information and Resources

When emergencies or inclement weather make it necessary to cancel classes, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to check email or text messages for a Berklee Emergency Notification System (BENS) alert and check this Alerts page for the latest official information.

In most situations, the BENS is used to alert members of the Berklee community. SMS (text) and email notifications will be the primary means of communication, although voice and social media posts may also be utilized. 

All essential services, including dining services and public safety, will remain active. Most Berklee facilities will have limited hours and access. 

For guidance about remote learning, teaching, and working, please refer to these resources:

  • Faculty: Please refer to the Continuity of Teaching and Learning page for additional information.
  • Staff: Non-emergency designated staff should work remotely to the fullest extent possible. Please refer to Berklee's Inclement Weather Policy for additional information.
  • Students: Please check with the appropriate faculty and staff members to confirm the status of your classes and appointments.
