When adverse weather conditions affect the routine operation of the University, information regarding class cancellation, delayed openings, and/or University closings will be publicized via multifaceted communication media. View all communication resources.
Review the University’s policies regarding weather-related emergencies.
The most up-to-date and specific information, including weather developments, event cancellations and postponements, or changes to the final exam schedule, can be obtained by viewing the WCU homepage. Please do not call Public Safety for class delays or cancellations as such calls will tie up phone lines needed for emergencies.
With the possibilities of snow and ice during these months, Facilities personnel from Grounds, Custodial and Plant Operations are prepared to clear the parking lots, roads and sidewalks, so that people and vehicles can move about campus safely and WCU activities can proceed as usual.
Please help us during an inclement weather event by:
