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.

NinerNotice: Campus Roads Deteriorating, Do Not Travel

Due to the ongoing snowfall and the number of non-essential vehicles attempting to travel on campus, roadways are becoming impassable in spots.

It is critical that you avoid vehicle traffic on campus unless it is an emergency situation. Cars are becoming stuck or sliding off of roadways, preventing emergency crews and grounds crews from being able to respond.

Again, please do not travel by vehicle on campus. Your cooperation will help keep campus clear for emergency vehicles and essential personnel.
