Classes Cancelled 12/1

To allow students additional time to travel back to campus after the Thanksgiving holiday and the weekend’s inclement weather, the university is cancelling all classes on Monday, Dec. 1.

At this time, the university will remain open with normal operations. As always, university leaders encourage employees and students to put safety first when deciding to travel to campus during the winter months. If employees cannot make it to campus on Monday, they need to coordinate with their supervisor to arrange to work remotely or take leave.

Snow Emergency Parking in the City of Dubuque is being enforced. Those parking on Clarke Drive should move their vehicle to a parking lot to allow city crews to remove snow and avoid receiving a ticket or being towed.
