INCLEMENT WEATHER
Morehead State University has developed a plan for announcing emergency delays and cancellations. These are most often associated with inclement weather and unpredictable weather patterns occurring in the winter months.
The University will select the appropriate option when dealing with delays that may affect the daily schedule of students, faculty, staff and/or visitors to the main campus. When road conditions are problematic, MSU employees and students should exercise good judgment in traveling to and from campus. Those concerned that weather conditions make it too dangerous to travel to campus should follow pre-determined procedures regarding class attendance or work assignments.
Emergency Alerts
MSU uses Omnilert to notify the campus community of safety, weather and other emergencies by text message and email. Please subscribe to receive these important messages by cell phone. Alerts are also delivered by email to all MSU employees and students, as well as social media.
