Tuesday, March 3

Due to weather, the University closed today at 1 p.m. Classes starting at or after 12:30 p.m. are not meeting in person. Classes already in session dismissed at 1 p.m. Online and remote courses are not affected by campus closings and will meet as scheduled. Please note that when a campus closing prevents an in-person class from meeting at its scheduled time, professors may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online. Students should check Blackboard and their email regularly to learn of any alternate arrangements. More on weather-related closings
