Campus closed Jan 17 as a result of climate circumstances
Due to difficult climate circumstances and disrupted transportation within the area, the UVic campus closed at present at 12:30 p.m.
A campus closure as a result of snow is just not an emergency and a right away departure from campus is just not required. We encourage everybody on campus to take their time and wind down their in-person actions. Online courses and administrative actions being performed remotely will proceed.
During a campus closure tutorial and administrative features which can be available remotely will proceed. The closure solely applies to these actions that should happen on the bodily campus.
Please keep secure! Plan forward, permit further time, put on acceptable clothes and footwear and be ready for snowy and icy circumstances.
We are actively monitoring climate circumstances to find out when it’s secure to reopen campus. UVic crews are working to handle slippery circumstances so as of precedence.
It’s by no means a straightforward choice to regulate our campus hours based mostly on highway circumstances. We make the most effective choice we are able to based mostly on the knowledge available on the time. Thanks to everybody who made an effort to return to campus and to workers who labored so arduous to open our campus safely this morning. We respect everybody’s persistence and understanding as this case unfolded at present.
