Inclement Weather University Closing
Decisions regarding the closing of the University for inclement weather are made for the entire University and are not made for or by each unit of the University. Faculty, staff, and students who are registered with Texas Wesleyan Alerts will automatically receive official closure announcements by phone, text message, and/or e-mail. These announcements are sent within minutes of a decision being made. Registration with Alerts is automatic, and all faculty, staff, and students are urged to update their contact information immediately by visiting http://txwes.edu/security/emergency. To unsubscribe to Alerts, log into Ramlink and select the Texas Wesleyan Alerts opt-out form, which is located in the communication section of the main menu.
