We want to acknowledge the significant challenges that our winter storm may have had on our UO Eugene students. Please see below for important resources and information.

On Campus

  • Be careful on and around campus. A winter weather impact map shows hazard areas. Sidewalks and roads are ice covered and slippery. There is a potential for more freezing rain on Tuesday. Stay clear of areas marked with caution tape. Avoid trees and tree covered routes. Beware of downed or falling trees, limbs and powerlines.
  • Housing Residential Dining continues to operate at Barnhart, Carson, Unthank, and Global Scholars Hall until 7 p.m. daily.
  • The Student Rec Center is open on Tuesday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Due to limited staffing, some areas of the Rec Center may be unavailable.
  • Power outages have been reported east of campus and in other areas around the community.

Off Campus

  • If you are traveling to Eugene, use your best judgement to travel safely. Check TripCheck.com for road conditions throughout Oregon.
  • Roads throughout Eugene continue to be ice covered and many trees have fallen.
  • LTD has cancelled service for Tuesday.

Student Care

  • 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.
  • If you live off campus and are without power/heat, the Rec Center and Dining Halls are good options for warmth and electricity. The Eugene Library and other community centers may also be available.

For emergencies, call 9-1-1 or University of Oregon Police Department at 541-346-2919.
