EMU Today

YPSILANTI --  Due to the predicted ice storm and warning by the National Weather Service, Eastern Michigan University will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 22. Conditions in the morning may not be severe but they are projected to significantly worsen by early afternoon making the drive to or from campus potentially hazardous.

Fully online courses without scheduled meeting times (i.e., asynchronous classes) may proceed with activities unless directed otherwise by the instructor.

All other activities are cancelled, including in-person class sessions, fully online class sessions with a scheduled meeting time (i.e., synchronous classes), meetings, library operations, and other activities. (Online synchronous classes are canceled as some students, faculty and staff rely on on university-provided hardware, software and support and this cannot be assured when the University is closed.) 

Students who have off-campus placements in teaching, clinical, or similar settings should follow the instructions of their placement coordinator or onsite instructor.

Due to the 24/7 nature of some campus operations, designated personnel who work in certain areas such as the energy center, physical plant, food service, public safety, WEMU and other employees within specific areas of the University may be required to work. All other employees should remain at home in accordance with the Eastern Michigan University Extreme Weather Policy and applicable collective bargaining agreements.

Residence halls and apartments will remain open. Residential campus dining units will be open - visit EMUDining for hours and locations. Other on-campus food service locations will be closed. The Student Center and Rec/IM will be closed.

Students, faculty and staff should monitor their emich.edu email and the University website for further updates. If you have not signed up for the RAVE emergency text alert system, please do so at www.emich.edu/alerts/.
