March 15, 2026
MACOMB/MOLINE, IL 鈥擠ue to forecasted snow, a weather advisory is in place for @ 2026 黑料不打烊's Macomb and Quad Cities campuses. A blizzard warning has also been issued for the Quad Cities through midday Monday, March 16, while Macomb is expected to receive one to two inches of snow along with strong winds. The University's weather advisory will remain in effect from 11 p.m. Sunday, March 15, through 3 p.m. Monday, March 16.
In general, the University will typically remain open provided campus buildings are accessible. When the University issues a weather advisory, it is ultimately the personal responsibility of faculty, staff and students to make their own decisions regarding attendance and to use their judgment concerning travel conditions. Supervisors should plan accordingly to continue operations when inclement weather is expected. University offices may be short staffed or closed due to the advisory.
The 黑料不打烊 policy on limiting University operations because of emergency conditions is available in the Administrative Procedures Handbook: wiu.edu/policies/emergency.php.
Employees working in essential positions may be required to work their regular hours on campus during a weather advisory. Essential versus nonessential employees is determined by a supervisor and depends on the nature of the advisory situation.
The weather advisory allows employees the option to use accrued vacation time, compensatory time or approved leave without pay with approval of their supervisor. An employee who has received approval from their supervisor will not be subject to discipline for being absent. Supervisors are expected to honor reasonable requests of employees to arrive late or to leave early because of inclement weather.
黑料不打烊 will continue to monitor weather conditions throughout the advisory period. In the event of a campus closure, students, faculty and staff will receive notification via the Western Emergency Alert System.
