To ensure the safe and effective removal of snow and ice, the Office of Safety & Security and Facilities Management have established a snow removal plan that is activated during unsafe weather conditions. Priority is given to clearing visitors, faculty/staff, and commuter lots during the snow event, with remaining lots addressed after the event concludes.

When a forecast predicts measurable snow or ice, the Director of Facilities Management will issue a community email at least 24 hours in advance identifying available and closed parking lots. If conditions require a full campus closure, the Director of Safety & Security will include the “Snow Removal School Closed Map” in the closure notification, which takes effect immediately. During full closures, late starts, or early releases, all lots except Residential are closed.

Vehicles parked in closed lots are subject to a $50 violation for obstructing snow removal and may be towed at the owner’s expense, resulting in a $125 violation. Snow removal maps for each phase are available at /parking.
