Ole Miss is the latest Mississippi college to alter its schedule due to the threat of severe winter weather.
The main campus in Oxford will proceed with normal operations on Friday until 7 p.m. University events and activities after that are canceled until further notice. The campus will be closed on Monday.
Students are not required to leave campus during the closure. However, the university is encouraging students to stay weather-aware and take safety precautions as extreme cold temperatures, significant ice accumulation, and potentially hazardous travel conditions are expected across the area.
Dining services at the Rebel Market will remain open with menus being adjusted as needed. Oxford-University Transit buses will operate under normal hours on Friday but not run on Saturday and Sunday.
Regional campuses as part of the Ole Miss network make their own decisions on weather-related scheduling. Students at those are encouraged to check regional campus websites for any changes or updates to operating schedules.
Other universities to alter schedules ahead of the weekend include Delta State University, Blue Mountain Christian University, and Mississippi University for Women. A running list of closures and schedule changes can be found here.
