Snow at DSU

During periods of severe weather or emergency, updates on the status of University closures, events, parking, transportation, and dining facilities will be posted here.

We encourage our students, faculty, and staff to use their own discretion in determining safe travel conditions in absence of official University closings or cancellations as we cannot always accurately assess or predict conditions in all of the localities from which our constituents travel.
