Updates regarding our operational status

How you'll know if conditions such as weather or other threats are affecting normal schedules:

University safety and facilities personnel regularly monitor developing weather forecasts and conditions. They then provide the latest information to University leadership when conditions pose a safety threat to students, faculty, staff or visitors at any of our locations. University leadership will determine if conditions require campus closure(s) or modified schedules.​

When inclement weather develops overnight, University leaders assess conditions and announce any schedule adjustments by 5 a.m.
