Please use caution if walking or driving on and around campus.\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. Employees may telework during suspended operations so long as they have the advance written approval of their supervisor or manager.\n\nLearn more about the UW's suspended operations policy here: https://hr.uw.edu/policies/suspended-operations/\n\nFor updates regarding athletics events Monday, please visit gohuskies.com or @UWAthletics on Twitter. Fans attending athletics events, if they proceed, are encouraged to take public transit, including light rail, if possible.\n\nClick here for a message from UW President Ana Mari Cauce about the unique nature of the storms hitting the Puget Sound region, the challenges they present, and the decision-making process that goes into determining if or when to suspend operations.\n\nUW Tacoma has announced it will also suspend operations Monday. Updates for UW Tacoma can be found at emergency.tacoma.uw.edu.\n\nUPDATE at 5:30 p.m. Monday: UW Bothell has announced it will also suspend operations Monday.
