As a winter storm approaches, campus officials are closely monitoring the weather forecast and making preparations accordingly.
SMU’s goal is to hold classes and events in person; however, if winter weather conditions risk the safety of our employees and students, a decision on campus operations will be made by the president in consultation with SMU police and members of the President’s Executive Council.
Campus Notifications
Changes in operations will be communicated in the following ways:
- Text and e-mail messages from SMU Aware sent to all students, faculty and staff.
- SMU Aware website, SMU homepage.
- Official SMU Aware social media accounts.
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SMUAware/
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/smuaware
- DFW news media – television and radio. Always check your SMU text, email and website first.
- 214-SMU-INFO (214-768-4636). Please do not call the SMU Police.
Safety considerations
Above all, be safe. Always use good judgment regarding your ability to travel safely in inclement weather if the University is operating as normal. Students who are not able to report for class due to road conditions or other weather-related issues should contact their professor, and employees should contact their supervisor.
Stay up to date
The 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.
