Due to inclement weather, on-campus operations for the West Virginia University Morgantown Campus will begin at noon Tuesday (Jan. 7).
University employees are instructed to work with their supervisors on the details of their specific work assignments due to the delay.
Those who have essential on-campus assignments should use good judgment when traveling in inclement weather. Employees who work remotely or in a hybrid capacity should plan to work their normal schedule.
Supervisors are asked to be flexible and understanding with their direct reports if they are unable to make it to work.
“Our focus is on the safety of members of the University community,” University Police Chief Sherry St. Clair said. “This delay for on-campus operations will allow more time for University, local, county and state officials to make progress on clearing area roadways, sidewalks and other areas of snow and ice.”
Facilities Management will continue to work on roads and grounds maintenance into Tuesday (Jan. 7).
Even after on-campus operations resume, some specific sites may remain closed or operate with reduced hours. Employees, students and visitors should call ahead before venturing out to ensure locations and services are open as conditions may change or services may be limited.
WVU Health Sciences faculty, staff and students who work in patient care areas or in clinical rotations should check with their dean, program director or clinic manager.
The Visitors Centers remains closed.
University officials continue to closely monitor reports from the National Weather Service, as well as state, local and campus conditions.
Any necessary updates will be provided through a variety of outlets, including the WVU Alert system, MIX email and students.wvu.edu, MOUNTAINEER E-News, email and enews.wvu.edu. Social media accounts such as @WVUsafety on X and the WVU Safety and Wellness Facebook will also share updates.
Decisions regarding the WVU Tech and Potomac State College campuses are made separately based on local conditions. WVU Extension will follow its internal inclement weather policy, which can be found here.
Spring semester classes begin Jan. 13.
A WVU Alert is part of the University's three-tiered emergency notification system.
