Changes in On-Campus Operations

Your Questions, Answered
Changes to on-campus operations can be confusing. We can help!
-
We're Open!
UMB’s President (or designee) is the only official who can “close” or “delay” UMB operations during inclement weather or other emergencies. If you don’t receive a UMB Alert about a change in on-campus operations, UMB is open, and employees should report to work as scheduled.

Find updates during any storm
The ONLY official sources for inclement weather announcements are this webpage and our emergency information phone line (410-706-8622).
Please note: Weather-related delays and closures are no longer sent to local news media outlets. Confirm any UMB delay or closure here.
