Wichita State University will be open Monday, Jan. 26 for normal operations. In-person classes will be in session, and campus operations will continue as normal.
University leadership carefully reviews weather forecasts, transportation conditions, campus safety, essential services and the potential impact on education, research, residential life and applied learning, assessing safety risks and whether they can be mitigated through campus response and individual caution, before deciding to remain open. Because everyone’s circumstances are different, you are encouraged to assess your own situation and use reasonable judgment in deciding if it’s safe for you to travel to campus.
Students with questions or who are unable to safely travel or get around on campus can reach out to their instructor.
Faculty or staff with similar concerns should immediately contact their supervisor or department chair to develop an alternative plan that accommodates your needs and minimizes disruption to operations.
Facilities Services personnel are working hard to clear roadways and sidewalks on campus. Using caution and allowing for extra travel time is always advised.
We understand that weather-related decisions can impact individuals in different ways.
Please know that these decisions are made with the best intentions by university leaders who are working diligently to balance the safety of our community with the need to maintain operations. We appreciate your flexibility.
