Operations on Wednesday
University officials will continue to closely monitor weather and travel conditions, as well as the operating plans of Chapel Hill Transit. Safety is the University’s number one priority when considering the impact of winter weather on campus operations.
Please continue to check the University’s homepage, www.unc.edu, and official Twitter account (@UNC) for updates about University operations, along with the information sources listed below. The University is committed to announcing any final decision to change operations promptly to give students, faculty and staff as much lead time as possible for planning travel to class and work.
Employees (SPA and EPA non-faculty) are reminded of the University’s Adverse Weather Policy. Emergency employees are expected to report for work. Other employees are responsible for their regular duties and making their own decisions about work based on personal safety. See the Adverse Weather Policy Clarification for Employees for additional information.
UNC uses three main adverse weather operating conditions: Condition 1 (open), Condition 2 (classes canceled; University has suspended non-mandatory operations; offices are open and non-mandatory employees are expected to report to work if possible) or Condition 3 (classes canceled; offices closed). Reports of state government closings do not apply to the University. The University generally announces adverse weather news on www.unc.edu, the campus information sources listed below, and through the news media. Unless a change is announced, the University always operates under Condition 1 – regular schedule.
