In response to the ongoing snow emergency, the University of Delaware will continue to suspend on-campus, in-person activities on the Newark campus on Tuesday, Feb. 2. Virtual activities, including online classes, will proceed as originally scheduled.

Essential personnel should report to work at their regularly scheduled time, unless otherwise authorized. UD Facilities staff will be working to clear campus parking lots and treat sidewalks.

Other UD locations in the state will make their own decisions about closing or late opening depending on their local conditions.

Personal safety

Safety is UD's highest priority. Faculty, staff and students should not put themselves at risk, and employees who expect difficulty traveling should contact their supervisors.

Faculty members unable to hold class should notify their departmental offices, and students unable to attend class should contact their professors. In such cases, UD policy states that students should be allowed to make up missed class time and canceled classes should be rescheduled when possible.

The University's policy is reprinted below:

Faculty and students are not expected to take unnecessary risks to meet their teaching and learning obligations due to inclement weather. When classes have not been canceled, it is a matter of personal judgment whether traveling to campus is hazardous. Faculty should notify their departmental offices when weather precludes them from meeting their teaching obligations; similarly, students should notify their professors when inclement weather precludes them from class attendance. In such cases, students should be allowed to make up missed class time and, whenever possible, canceled classes should be rescheduled.
