A decision to close or delay opening Worcester State University will generally be made by 5:30am by the president or the president’s designee in consultation with other members of the University staff.

Notice will be given to the following outlets:

  1. Email: All …@worcester.edu email addresses
  2. Website: A red-colored alert box in the site header on every page
  3. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WorcesterStateUniversity
  4. Twitter: https://twitter.com/worcesterstate
  5. Text message: you can optionally receive a text message by adding your mobile number to the WSU Alert system

Important: Please do not call the University Police to find out if the university is open, closed, or delayed as this ties up the phone line for emergency calls.
