On Campus  

• Housing Residential Dining is operating at Barnhart, Carson, Unthank, and Global Scholars Hall. Regular hours. Menu selection may be limited as food deliveries have been delayed.             
• The Student Rec Center is open regular hours. Expect larger crowds as SRC is open to all UO community members for showers while power outages continue throughout the area. A bottle filler will be available outside SRC on Thursday for people with frozen pipes needing drinkable water. 
• The Housing Service Centers are open.
• The EMU is open to all to warm up and for electricity. Food vendors schedules may vary based on staffing.  
• Campus parking lots are open but expect ice and standing water.  
• Store trash appropriately. Garbage trucks have not been running and the dumping facility remains closed through Thursday.  
• Continue to be extremely careful on and around campus. Ice covers most surfaces. It will take days to melt, and some is covered with standing water. Be especially cautious on steps and in shaded areas. Stay on sidewalks when possible.

• LTD service resumes at 9 a.m. on Thursday.  

Student Care

• A bottle filler will be available outside SRC on Thursday for those needing water. 
• If the inclement weather has had a significant impact on you financially, you may be eligible for reimbursement from the UO Students in Crisis Fund. Funds are limited and offered on a one-time basis should the financial impact impede on your academic success.
