Oakland University to be closed January 21-22

Posted: Monday, January 20 at 5:00 PM

Oakland University will be closed starting at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, January 21, and continuing through 5 a.m. on Thursday, January 23, due to extreme cold forecast throughout this time period.

During a university closure, all scheduled classes, regardless of modality, are canceled and all but essential University operations cease. Any campus activities outside of classes are also canceled unless communicated otherwise. Students, faculty and staff are not expected to report to campus.

Decisions regarding various changes in university operations due to severe weather are made independently as conditions warrant. During any change in operations, it should not be assumed that additional changes will be made in conjunction with any other.

The university appreciates the patience and cooperation of campus community members as efforts are made to balance OU's commitment to delivering quality educational programs with the need to ensure personal safety during severe weather events.

Normal university operations are expected to resume at 5 a.m. on Thursday, January 23, unless otherwise communicated prior to that time.
