The University of Delaware’s Newark campus and other locations in New Castle County will be open and operating on a normal schedule on Friday, Jan. 5.

The Carvel Center in Georgetown and the Sharp Campus in Lewes will remain closed on Jan. 5.

Students enrolled in the University’s Associate in Arts Program on the Delaware Technical Community College campuses in Wilmington, Dover and Georgetown should follow the Delaware Technical schedule.

UD Grounds and Custodial staff spent the day Thursday clearing campus sidewalks and parking lots.

Travelers are reminded to use caution on the roads, which may still have some icy spots because of blowing snow.

Personal safety

Members of the University community are reminded that safety is UD's highest priority. Students and employees should not put themselves at risk. Students who are unable to get to campus because of the weather should contact their professors. Employees who expect difficulty traveling should contact their supervisors.  

University policies include a section dealing with personal safety considerations for faculty and students. Please note the policy, which is reprinted here:

Faculty and students are not expected to take unnecessary risks to meet their teaching and learning obligations due to inclement weather. When classes have not been canceled, it is a matter of personal judgment whether traveling to campus is hazardous. Faculty should notify their departmental offices when weather precludes them from meeting their teaching obligations; similarly, students should notify their professors when inclement weather precludes them from class attendance. In such cases, students should be allowed to make up missed class time and, whenever possible, canceled classes should be rescheduled.
