Weather Policy

NIU Community School of the Arts

We seldom cancel a class, rehearsal, or concert, but occasionally, weather conditions may make this necessary. If you suspect that your class, rehearsal, or concert might be cancelled, feel free to call the office at (815) 753-1450 to check.

We will do our best to provide information about last-minute cancellations. Check your email and your telephone messages. If it's after 4:30 p.m. or a weekend, you'll find a message with information on our voice mail message at (815) 753-1450. On weekdays, we will update the News and Updates section of this website.
