Severe Weather Information – Campus Opening Delayed
SFA classes will resume and offices will reopen at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12. The SFA Charter School and Early Childhood Laboratory also will open at 11 a.m. This delayed opening will allow time for temperatures to rise above freezing and melt any ice on the roadways.
The university asks that faculty, staff and students exercise extreme caution if traveling overnight or early in the morning. The National Weather Service is forecasting widespread freezing fog that will cover the roadways with a layer of ice, and roads that are still wet will freeze during the overnight hours. Temperatures will drop to the mid-20s and not reach above freezing until approximately 9 a.m Tuesday. Expect reduced visibility and slick conditions on bridges and overpasses. Additionally, trees and limbs are still down on some roadways.
The Student Center dining hall will operate on normal hours beginning at 7 a.m. Please check http://sfasu.campusdish.com/ for more formation.
The Physical Plant has applied gravel to the bridges on campus, and high-traffic walkways and building entrances have been treated with ice-melting substances to assist in keeping the campus safe.
