The City of Philadelphia has announced that it will be under a snow emergency beginning at 9 p.m. Saturday, as the National Weather Service predicts the region could see snow accumulation of 8 to 18 inches.

Ahead of the impending storm, the university is actively preparing for potential travel disruptions, freezing temperatures and service impacts. Public Safety, Facilities and Operations, and essential student support functions will be staffed at normal capacity throughout the storm. All on-campus residence halls have been adequately stocked with food and supplies, and Johnson and Hardwick’s Louis J. Esposito Dining Center will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Given the uncertainty of the storm’s impact, we encourage all members of our community to plan accordingly. Charge electronic devices, gather warm clothing and blankets, ensure you have any needed prescription medications, and keep ready-to-eat food items and bottled water on hand in case dining hours or local services are affected.

See the list below for information on the operating status of university offices/schools/services this weekend.

The Lewis Katz School of Medicine will issue information and directives that may differ from those of the university. Faculty, staff and students should look for follow-up communication from Katz administration and program leadership regarding the status of classes, clinical activities and operations.

The Kornberg School of Dentistry will also issue direction for its clinics and directives that may differ from those of the university. All preclinical labs at the school will be closed on Sunday.

Questions related to the status of weekend events hosted by schools or colleges should be directed to each specific school.

As we look toward the week ahead, we expect to have greater clarity by midday Sunday. At that time, the university will provide an update regarding Monday operations to give the community as much notice as possible.

For those who will be on campus this weekend, please know that your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Temple Police can always be reached directly through the TUSafe app or by calling 215-204-1234.
