SMU’s campus will remain closed on Thursday and Friday, February 18 and 19, 2021, due to the impact of the severe weather on energy, utilities and roadways on and off campus. All classes, in-person and virtual, are canceled for both days. Only designated essential personnel should report to work on campus. Once classes resume, we will notify campus about make-up days that may be required.
On-campus Resources Available
Umphrey Lee Dining is fully open, Arnold Dining is open for limited take-out food, and the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center is offering limited services (check website for details.) Other campus operations such as the Meadows Museum and SMU Libraries will remain closed.
Warm Up and Power Up
Hughes Trigg Student Center will be open from noon to 9 p.m. each day for the campus community to come to warm up and charge electronic devices. Because of limited staffing, no food, drinking fountains or other services are available but students may bring drinks and snacks. Please continue to follow COVID-19 safety measures, and make sure to socially distance and wear masks except when actively eating or drinking.
Watch for Updates
Please take care of yourselves and others during this unusually tough winter blast and monitor your SMU Aware email, Twitter and Facebook for updates and other important information. On campus residents should reach out to their Residential Commons Director or Resident Assistant about concerns in housing. Employees may check the campus policy on weather and other emergency conditions for additional information.
We expect warmer weather this weekend and a return to normal operations and classes next week. Please stay safe and Mustang Strong.
