Penn State Altoona will utilize a compressed class schedule whenever a decision has been made to modify our regular schedule. In the case of a delayed opening for the campus, we utilize a two-hour delay schedule, wherein students and faculty will follow a shortened version of their normal daily schedule.

For classes that are longer than the listed standard 50- and 75-minute classes, students should follow the compressed schedule for the class start time closest to their actual class start time.

Labs

It is within the discretion of the faculty member to determine if the lab will be held pursuant to the two-hour delay schedule or if it will be canceled. Students should check with their individual faculty members or the course syllabus.
