Plan ahead for winter weather; campus operations remain normal

The University of Wisconsin–Madison plans to operate normally Tuesday as a winter storm moves into the region late Monday through Tuesday evening.

Employees are encouraged to make plans to account for possible travel delays and potential school or childcare closures. Notify supervisors and make alternate arrangements, as outlined in UW–Madison’s Inclement Weather Policy. Ensuring your safety should always be a top priority.

UW–Madison is currently on winter break and classes do not resume until Jan. 23.

Additional updates to campus operations will be shared via UW–Madison social media, on the campus news page and on the university’s home page.
