Northwest campus to remain closed through Tuesday; all classes suspended

Due to weather conditions and for the safety of students and employees, the Northwest Missouri State University campus in Maryville and Northwest-Kansas City will remain closed through Tuesday, Feb. 16.

All Tuesday classes are suspended due to power outages in the region. Northwest students should check their University email accounts and Canvas for communication about coursework and other assignments.

Only essential employees are approved to work during the closure. Non-essential staff should not work remotely.

Individuals should not enter closed buildings as the University is working to prevent building systems from being compromised. All campus buildings remain closed through Tuesday with the exception of residence halls and dining facilities in the J.W. Jones Student Union and The Station. Check Campus Dining social media at Twitter and Facebook for locations and hours.

Northwest urges its community to monitor weather conditions and shelter-in-place to maintain safety. Be aware of your surroundings and take precautions.

The Northwest community and area residents may monitor current weather conditions and campus operations by following official Northwest social media accounts, visiting the University Police Department’s website or by tuning into KXCV-KRNW 90.5 FM or 88.9 FM.
