In response to the expected inclement weather, Wichita State University will move to remote operations Tuesday, Feb. 18. Critical campus operations will remain open, and employees who support these operations should report to campus.

All other employees should work remotely when possible and speak with their supervisor for any specific concerns. Classes will be held remotely. Instructors are encouraged to connect with their students regarding the status of their classes, and students should reach out to their instructors for questions.

Critical campus operations that will remain open include:

  • Student housing
  • Dining options (which may reduce business hours as needed)
