Posted: Tuesday, January 16 – 5p.m.
Oakland University will delay the start of on-camus classes that begin before 10 a.m. on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, due to forecast for extremely cold temperatures and wind chill effects.
All classes scheduled to begin prior to the delayed start time will be held virtually or canceled at the discretion of their instructors. Students unsure of the status of classes should contact their instructors. University staff with questions regarding the need to report to campus are advised to contact their direct supervisors.
Decisions regarding various changes in university operations due to inclement weather are made independently as conditions warrant. It should not be assumed that any additional operational changes will be made in conjunction with the delayed start noted above.
Campus community member interested in the operating status of campus facilities including Kresge Library, Oakland Center and the Recreation Center should check those facilities' web sections for additional information.
The university appreciates the patience and cooperation of campus community members as efforts are made to balance OU's commitment to delivering educational programs with the need to ensure safety during severe weather events.
