Salisbury University announces changes to weekend schedule due to snowstorm

SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University has announced several closings and changes to this weekend’s schedule.

All campus operational buildings and offices will close at 6 p.m. today, January 28th. Essential personnel should report to work on campus as scheduled or as directed by their supervisor. Employees should avoid parking on main campus after 6 p.m. today in an effort to facilitate plowing.

Move-in and COVID-19 testing for students will be suspended from 6 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. Sunday. Move-in for students living in campus housing will remain open until then. Students unable to be on campus by 6 p.m. Friday should remain at home and plan to move in after 10 a.m. Sunday. Students already en route to campus with a scheduled arrival time after 6 p.m. Friday will be allowed to move in, but should plan to take their SU-administered COVID-19 return-to-campus test as soon as testing reopens at 10 a.m. January 30th.

Students who have a COVID-19 test scheduled between 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Sunday will be eligible for walk-in testing once the center reopens at 10 a.m. All students will still be required to have a test on file to access their residence halls and attend in-person classes on Monday.

Additionally, all campus recreation facilities, including the Maggs Physical Activities Center and the University Fitness Center, as well as the Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons will be closed from 6 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. Sunday. The SU Bookstore will also reopen at 10 a.m. Sunday.

For those already on campus, the Commons will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday for breakfast, 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for lunch, and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for dinner. Cool Beans Cybercafe will be open from noon until 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Chick-Fil-A will be closed.

Students normally parking on campus should move their vehicles to the East Campus Parking Garage by noon Friday to allow preparation for plowing of campus lots. Vehicles will be permitted on campus for move-in but should be relocated to the garage as soon as possible. Should the garage fill, overflow parking will be available at the former Court Plaza shopping center.

Orientation will operate in a virtual format starting Saturday.

Students should continue to monitor their SU email for updates.
