University monitoring winter weather
|
|
The National Weather Service is predicting the possibility of snowfall and record-breaking cold temperatures for the next several days, with potential impacts to travel.
UTA is closely monitoring the forecast and will notify all students, faculty, and staff should weather or travel conditions affect the status of the University.
The University makes announcements about weather-related closures or delays via email and on the UTA home page, Facebook, and Twitter pages.
In the absence of an announcement through those channels, students, faculty, and staff should understand that the University is operating as normally scheduled.

Space heaters require approval
|
|
Space heaters are generally prohibited on campus, and their use requires written permission. If you have written permission for a space heater in your area, make sure to turn it off any time the area is not occupied.
Make sure heaters are:
- Placed at least three feet away from all combustible materials such as paper,
- Positioned outside of walkways or exit paths,
- Not located underneath desks or in other enclose areas, and
- Plugged directly into a wall receptacle; never use extension cords or power strips.
For details, see UTA’s space heater policy.
