On campus residents:
Please review all messages coming from your Residential Community Director (RCD) and reach out to them or Resident Assistant about concerns in housing.
Students who live in on-campus housing affected by the storm can view the status of their building here.
Academic Concerns:
SMU faculty have been advised to be flexible with assignments and exams. While the University is closed and no instruction is taking place, students are not expected to complete assignments. If a student is concerned about their workload, they should first consult with the faculty member. If a reasonable solution is not found, students are encouraged to reach out to the Department Chair.
On Campus Dining:
Dining is currently available only at Arnold Dining Commons from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Umphrey Lee is closed for repair but expected to reopen on Wednesday, February 24.
Boil Water Notice:
A boil water notice instituted for University Park residents, including SMU, was lifted Monday morning.
Before drinking or using tap water again, please make sure to flush lines for 3 to 5 minutes.
Here are some other guidelines to follow before using water to brush teeth or prepare food.
• Faucets: Run for several minutes to flush any old water from the pipes.
• Water filtration systems: Replace the filter.
• Ice makers – Throw out old ice as well as the first batch of ice made after that.
• Dishwashers: Run the dishwasher through one cycle to flush out any old water.
Health Services
The Dr. Bob Smith Health Center is open with limited services Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Please follow all standard procedures listed at smu.edu/studentaffairs/DrBobSmithHealthCenter
Postal Service
The SMU Post Office is open and operating under normal operations.
Off Campus Students
Students living off campus are welcome to use open campus buildings and on campus dining.
If you are without power, water, internet etc, please reach out to your utility service provider. The latest news is that the rolling power outages are lessening which should alleviate some of the challenges. However, many throughout the metroplex remain without key services. Several churches and rec centers have been opening their doors to assist. Please look for the nearest location for your safety.
