West Virginia University will monitor conditions as predicted inclement weather moves into the Morgantown area Thursday and Friday, Jan. 6-7.
The University currently plans normal operations; however, WVU students and employees should call ahead before venturing out to ensure locations and services are open as conditions may change or services may be limited.
Employees and students should use good judgment when traveling in inclement weather. Additional information about weather emergencies is available from University Police at safety.wvu.edu.
Supervisors are asked to be flexible and understanding with staff members to accommodate childcare and potentially hazardous road conditions.
University officials will continue to closely monitor reports from the National Weather Service, as well as state, local and campus conditions to provide additional updates if necessary.
Updates will be provided through a variety of outlets, including WVU Alert system, MIX email and students.wvu.edu, MOUNTAINEER E-News, email and enews.wvu.edu. Social media accounts such as @WVUsafety on Twitter and the WVU Safety and Wellness Facebook will also share updates.
