The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the region. In anticipation of accumulating snowfall that may lead to slippery roads and hazardous driving conditions, the University of Delaware has made the following alterations to its operations and academic instruction for Monday, Jan. 6, at UD’s Newark campus, the Paradee campus in Dover, the Sharp campus in Lewes and the Georgetown campus:

Instructors of classes that are scheduled for Monday, Jan. 6, are asked to communicate with their course sections, as these sessions may convene virtually or be canceled or rescheduled at the instructor’s discretion. Potential transition of these courses could be either synchronous virtual classroom instruction or an asynchronous format. Flexibility is appreciated; this action prioritizes the safety and well-being of students and faculty while ensuring academic continuity.

Normal operating schedules, including all transportation services, will be suspended at 5 a.m., Jan. 6, until further notice. However, essential personnel should report to work as scheduled. Non-essential employees should work remotely on Monday and not report to campus. Supervisors will communicate instructions and remote work assignments for non-essential employees as needed.

Residence Life and Housing staff, and other essential services, will be available to students. Regarding Student Wellbeing, patients with Monday appointments at Student Health Services, Sports Medicine and the Center for Counseling and Student Development will be contacted to reschedule. Utilize the UD Hotline and other resources to access after-hours and 24/7 medical- and crisis-care support. 

Dining will operate on the brunch-dinner schedule. For additional information, including hours of operation at retail locations, visit the Dining Services website or the Instagram account for UD Dining Services.
