It depends on the school. I know at my college, we had a few "reading days" at the end of each semester before finals when we had time of to study, and if we had snow days then we would have class on those reading days. Some colleges/universities just let there be one less day of class and leave it up to the profs and students to make up that time. It would be unlikely for a college or university to keep you longer in the year, though, because they know people plan ahead and may have commitments ahead of time based on the scheduled end of school (summer jobs or plane tickets or whatever).





Elementary, middle, and high schools are required to be in session a certain number of days (usually 180), and have to make those up somehow no matter what. Some counties have days already built into the calendar that will be teacher work days or days off unless there is a snow day, in which case they will be regular school days (I know my county does, not sure about others).
Reply:It depends on state law. Most of them have a set number of catastrophe days (which include not only snow days, but heat emergencies, school fires, bomb threats--anything that closes school on a regularly scheduled day). If the school uses up all the catastrophe days, then each additional day of closing must be made up somehow (some schools do end of school year, some might squeeze it out of spring break, etc.).
Reply:Check your school's policies.





I think most elementary, middle, and high schools will add days on, but I don't think colleges do
Reply:no if your school finishes at a set date thats when it will finish. the end of term has to stay at the aranged date otherwise people would not be ble to book holidays etc..
