Close

Due to continued winter weather impacts and slow overnight recovery conditions, Western New England University will remain closed on Tuesday. All classes, offices, and in-person activities are canceled for the day. We expect to resume normal operations on Wednesday morning, and will provide updates should conditions change.

Campus Services During the Closure

While most in-person activities will pause, essential services will remain available for students living on campus. The following services are expected to remain open or staffed:

  • Residence Halls (RDs/RAs on duty)
  • Dining (modified hours as needed)
  • Public Safety
  • Facilities/Housekeeping
  • University Operator
  • Health Services (TBD by Director)

Students living on campus should continue to expect regular support from Residence Life and Public Safety.

Classes and Remote Work

Students

All offices and in-person activities are canceled for the day. In-person classes are canceled but may be held remotely at the discretion of faculty. Faculty will communicate directly, so please check your email and course site for updates. 

Classes that are already scheduled to be fully remote will continue as usual unless otherwise communicated by your instructor. 

Staff
Staff who are able to work remotely should coordinate with supervisors as appropriate. Staff whose work requires on-campus presence should follow supervisor guidance.

Staying Informed
The University’s Inclement Weather Policy is available on the WNE website via the homepage banner. Any changes or reopening information will be shared through WNE Alert, email, and the University website.

Thank you for your flexibility and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of our campus community.  A special THANK YOU to the Facilities and Public Safety teams for all their hard work and dedication during this significant storm!
