Weekend of Feb. 21–22

We look forward to welcoming students and families to our Scholarship Competition on Sunday. The event will take place as scheduled. Attendees, please refer to your email for the complete itinerary and additional information.

Due to the arrival of a high-impact winter storm, the University campus will close on Sunday evening at 5 p.m. This includes the Sports Center and Harrison Libraries. (Starbucks will close at 4 p.m.) The weekend blue line (shopping shuttle) will run on its normal and complete Sunday schedule.

Hartt Community Division activities will not take place this afternoon or evening (canceled from noon on).

UHart will be closed on Monday, Feb. 23. There will be no in-person classes held on Monday. Please note that when a campus closing prevents an in-person class from meeting at its scheduled time, faculty may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online. Students should check Blackboard and their email regularly on such days to learn of any alternate arrangements. Online and remote courses are not affected by campus closings and meet as scheduled.
