Any updates regarding start times will be provided on this page as they become available.\n\nUW Bothell has announced it will delay opening until 10:30 a.m., and further updates for Bothell can be found at uwb.edu/emergency. UW Tacoma remains on a normal schedule, and updates can be found at emergency.tacoma.uw.edu.\n\nFaculty, staff and students with concerns about specific work, events or activities are encouraged to communicate with their supervisors, instructors and event organizers.\n\nEmployees identified by their unit as performing an essential service are required to report to work during any period of declared suspended operation. Employees in positions that are not designated as essential do not report to work when operations are suspended. These employees are covered by the pay and time-off policies that apply during periods of suspended operations.\n\nTelework may be a feasible option both for employees in essential positions and for regular employees who would not normally work during a suspension of operations, so long as they have the advance written approval of their supervisor or manager. Non-essential employees and essential employees whose responsibilities can be accomplished through telework should not come to campus.\n\nLearn more about the UW's suspended operations policy here: https://hr.uw.edu/policies/suspended-operations/\n\nWith several area schools also closing, classified and professional staff can learn about the UW's leave time for emergency family care in the event here: https://hr.uw.edu/ops/leaves/family-care-emergency-absences/\n\nFor updates about UW shuttle service, parking closures and links to transit snow routes, please see https://transportation.uw.edu/.\n\nThere are no athletics events scheduled for Monday.
