Winter Preparations

• Campus Facilities has a Winter Management Plan.  It is their job to organize and implement this plan, especially during severe weather situations.
• Campus Facilities coordinates with other departments on campus, the City of Columbia, MoDot, and Boone County
• Note: only the Chancellor or Provost can cancel classes.  Even when classes are canceled, other departments and activities are/will stay open during regular business hours.
• Campus Facilities does have set priorities for snow removal.  This can be viewed at http://www.cf.missouri.edu/ls/weathermgmt/index.html .  Priorities include:
