MONROE, La. – Due to continued power outages and ongoing weather-related uncertainties, the University of Louisiana Monroe will remain closed through Tuesday, February 3.   

University officials will continue to monitor conditions and work closely with local utility providers and emergency officials. A full assessment of the potential damage to campus resources must also be made once power is fully restored.  At this time, the University anticipates reopening on Wednesday, February 4; however, a final determination will be made at a later date and communicated through official channels. 

As communicated previously, no assignments, exams, or projects will be due during the closure. 

Faculty and staff should work with their immediate supervisors as to whether they need to report to campus. 

The ULM Activity Center will remain open 24 hours a day during the closure to provide warm shelter, restrooms, and charging capabilities for students remaining on campus. Residence halls remain open for students currently on campus. 

Schulze Cafeteria will continue to be fully operational, providing meals daily from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.  

Icy conditions and weather impacts may continue to make travel hazardous. ULM students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary and to exercise extreme caution if travel is unavoidable. Please visit 511la.org for current road conditions and travel advisories before planning travel. 

ULM will continue to provide updates through the ULM Safe app, campus-wide email, ulm.edu, and official ULM social media channels. Stay informed through 90.3 KEDM and the National Weather Service Shreveport. 

For emergencies on campus, use the ULM Safe app to contact the University Police Department, call 318-342-5350, or dial 911.
