Weather Forces Adjustments for Campus at WVU
By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 11, 2021
West Virginia University in Morgantown will adjust some of its on-campus operations for Thursday, Feb. 11 due to inclement weather and deteriorating road conditions.
Thursday was previously designated as a non-instructional date on the academic calendar. As a result, no classes were scheduled. Health Sciences students on clinical rotations should check in with their program directors for additional guidance.
Employees who can work remotely are encouraged to coordinate with their supervisor to do so. Those who have essential on-campus assignments should use good judgment when traveling in inclement weather. Supervisors are asked to be flexible and understanding with their direct reports if they are unable to make it to work.
