SMU is not anticipating any changes in our academic operations but wanted to let you know that a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for most of North Texas. Campus officials are closely monitoring the weather forecast and making preparations accordingly.
If winter weather conditions risk the safety of our employees and students, a decision about campus operations will be made by the President in consultation with SMU Police and members of the President’s Executive Council.
Timeline
Every effort will be made to announce any changes by 6 a.m. for the workday and by 4 p.m. for evening events. However, late-breaking weather developments may occasionally require other timely notifications.
If no University notification is sent or posted, operations are continuing as scheduled. Students, faculty and staff are expected to report to their classrooms or offices.
Campus Notifications
Changes in operations and instruction, including delays or cancellations, will be communicated in the following ways:
- Text and e-mail messages from SMU Aware sent to all students, faculty and staff.
- E-mail messages to SMU employees from vice presidents and deans (as appropriate) with additional details regarding changes in operations and instruction.
- SMU Aware website, SMU homepage.
- Official SMU Aware social media accounts.
Stay up to date
The new SMU Aware website is a one-stop place to get the latest information about a winter storm or other emergencies on campus. Please check it often for updates.
