UAFS to Resume Normal Operations Friday, January 30

Written By: Terisa Riley

Dear colleagues and students,
 
Big thanks to the crews who have been working diligently to clear parking lots and sidewalks today. As a result, UAFS will open for normal operations tomorrow, January 30. Please note some limitations below:
 
Please allow extra time for driving to and from campus and when parking on campus. Many side streets and parking lots have patches of snow and/or ice which can be dangerous...so take it slow. 
 
Campus sidewalks may still have some slush, so please wear boots or protective shoes and be careful to wipe your feet when entering buildings to cut down on possible slips and falls indoors.
 
WATC classes held on campus and at the Peak Innovation Center will NOT be held on Friday, January 30. Many area school districts are announcing closures for tomorrow, and the Peak Innovation Center parking lot is still covered with snow and ice. 
 
The Center for Economic Development at the Bakery District will be closed on January 30, 2026.
 
RAWC: The Recreation and Wellness Center will open at 8 a.m. (delayed opening).
 
Faculty and Staff: If it is unsafe for you to travel to campus, please notify your direct supervisor ASAP.  
 
Faculty who cannot hold classes as scheduled on Friday should notify their students ASAP via email and/or Blackboard message. 
 
Staff: Your supervisor may allow you to work from home on Friday if you cannot make it to the campus.
 
Students: Please check your emails and messages in Blackboard to ensure that you receive notices from your faculty in a timely way.
 
Other campus operations may be limited if significant numbers of employees cannot safely travel to campus. Please be on the look out for any notices of limited hours of operation which will be advertised with signage, emails, and via social media posts.
 
If there are any changes overnight and campus has to be closed on Friday, I will notify everyone no later than 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning via email.
 
Thank you for your patience while we do our best to navigate this weather. Stay safe, Lions.
