MSU’s spring semester will start a little differently than most — with the university’s first campus-wide class cancellation since February 2011 and one of the few in school history.
In addition to canceled classes, academic buildings will be closed to the public and any on-campus activities have been called off, according to a voice message sent to university faculty. All Sparty’s locations in academic buildings also will be closed.
The Union will be open tomorrow with limited services available.
Several other universities throughout the state also have called off Monday classes as the storms grow stronger, including Grand Valley State University, Western Michigan University, University of Michigan-Dearborn, Lansing Community College, Eastern Michigan University and University of Michigan-Flint.
Local schools and government buildings, including Ingham County offices and East Lansing’s Bailey Community Center, have announced closures as well. MSUFCU also will be closed to protect the safety of its employees, according to a credit union representative.
