Cold temperatures, snowy roads, and icy conditions can be expected in the coming months. In preparation, the Office of Human Resources suggests that you review the inclement weather guidelines for UW–Madison. The chancellor is responsible for determining if classes will be canceled or postponed or some university services suspended due to inclement weather. The chancellor’s decisions will be based on the safety and welfare of students, faculty and staff. For the latest information on weather-related closings or changes to campus operations, visit wisc.edu or @uwmadison on Twitter. A detailed description of the inclement weather guidelines is available at go.wisc.edu/2k979r.
