UOAlert! — 6:30 am. Feb. 7, 2014:

University of Oregon classes and events cancelled until 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7

All University of Oregon Eugene classes and events have been suspended until 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7, due to continuing winter weather conditions.

The UO’s Eugene campus remains operational and employees are expected to report to regular duties to support campus activities beyond cancelled classes and events.

It is understood that not everyone will be able to travel to campus due to the continuing inclement weather. Members of the campus community are expected to use their best judgment in assessing the risk of coming to campus and returning home, based on individual circumstances. Those who believe that the road conditions from their homes are dangerous are urged and even expected to remain home.

** Faculty members not able to travel to campus are responsible for making alternate arrangements for their courses scheduled after 10 a.m.

** Students should contact their instructors if they cannot safely get to class or work.

** Faculty and staff who choose to come in late or leave early need to use leave as set forth in applicable collective bargaining agreements or university policy. If faculty and staff cannot safety get to class and work they should contact supervisors.

Please check this page for the latest updates and bulletins. We are continuing to monitor the situation throughout the day.  Stay tuned for updates.
