With a wintry mix covering the UNCW campus on Wednesday, Jan. 22, combined with very cold temperatures, the university plans to remain in Condition 2 for employees through 5 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 23. Classes and campus events are cancelled through Thursday. Campus dining options will be open Wednesday and Thursday.
The university’s next weather update will be sent by noon (12 p.m.) Thursday unless conditions warrant earlier notification.
University Employees
UNCW will remain in Condition 2 (Suspended Operations) under the Adverse Weather Policy through Thursday, Jan. 23, at 5 p.m. During this time, the university will remain open on a limited basis but has suspended all but mandatory operations due to minimal staffing levels. Employees designated or temporarily assigned as mandatory must report to work or remain at work as directed; all other employees may not report to work or must leave the workplace when this status takes effect. Employees may also work remotely with supervisory approval. Employees must use leave for any work time missed in accordance with leave keeping policies.
Residential Students
On-campus residential students are encouraged to safely enjoy the winter wonderland on campus. Tag @uncwilmington in your snow day pics! When heading outdoors, wear warm layers and use caution. Remember to be careful when traversing sidewalks and walking up or down steps or stairwells as they may be slippery in winter weather conditions.
Remember: please avoid driving on campus unless absolutely necessary. Please use caution. UNCW Police have had to advise drivers to avoid reckless behavior.
Other Events and Services
Remember that winter weather conditions may impact scheduled events, activities and services on campus and in the Wilmington area throughout the week. Before heading out, please check relevant websites and/or social media feeds for the latest updates.
