NinerNotice: Avoid Vehicle Travel on Campus
As a result of snow accumulation and ongoing freezing temperatures, road conditions on campus remain challenging. Despite the blue sky and bright sun, it is very cold outside, which hinders snow removal.
Please do not drive on campus unless it is an absolute emergency.If you are not on campus, do not come to campus. Your cooperation is critical for crews to be able to clear the roads and allow emergency vehicles to respond if necessary.
Also, please review the important reminders below about sledding on campus. Do not sled on roadways, including Craver Road. This helps keep you safe and the roads clear for crews.
If you have an emergency, call 911 from a campus phone or 704-687-2200 from your cell phone.
Dining
- Consolidated dining options remain available based upon staffing and available supplies, including to-go options to be taken back to residence halls. Please monitor the dining services webpage for the most updated information on available food options.
- Safety tip: When walking to the dining halls or other areas of campus during the storm, make sure to wear warm clothes and appropriate footwear for the conditions (i.e. flat shoes with good grip).
Niner Transit and Light Rail
- Niner Transit service continues to be paused due to road conditions. If conditions improve, they will attempt to resume service this afternoon. Continue to monitor Passio Go! for all the latest information.
- Monitor the CATS website for the latest information on light rail service.
Sledding and other activities
- Roads and parking lots/decks are not safe for sledding, snowboarding, etc. and must remain clear for snow removal and emergency vehicles. Please stay off these areas at all times.
- Additionally, using signs, tables, a-frames and/or other University property for sledding is prohibited.
