The National Weather Service is anticipating ice accumulation beginning early Saturday evening, and we want to ensure the safety of our students, employees and campus guests. The University will close and all events will be cancelled from 5 PM Saturday until 12 PM Sunday.

We will continue to closely monitor and evaluate the conditions and provide updates via Longhorn Alert if that closure is extended.

All updates will be posted in real-time to the Longhorn Alert website. Make sure you bookmark the site and check it regularly: https://t.co/eAnI9Z6uPJ
