The University will be closed on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, due to ongoing storm cleanup efforts.
This decision reflects our continued commitment to campus safety and operational readiness, allowing our facilities team the necessary time to thoroughly clear campus walkways and parking areas. It also gives our community the opportunity to adjust plans for university events and to attend to other essential responsibilities, such as family care and snow removal.
All classes and events, both in-person and online, are canceled for the day. Buley Library will remain closed.
