When a weather event hits and you need to know whether the University is closed, the best information sources are:
-
U of G Alert – sign up to receive email, phone or text message alerts from our Critical Incident Notification System
-
Add the number “723389” to your contacts so that text messages don’t get filtered to spam
-
If the University decides before normal working hours to close because of bad weather or an emergency, every effort will be made to communicate that decision by 6 a.m. The campus switchboard will also have a recorded message.
Staff and faculty are asked to use their best judgement to ensure their safety. We recognize that weather and travel conditions may vary. If the University remains open, please use your best judgment in deciding whether you can travel safely to campus, taking into account conditions in your area and along your route.
