SAN MARCOS — Due to winter storm warnings and advisories, anticipated icy conditions, and the significant impact this will have on travel, Texas State University will cancel classes (in-person and online) and suspend operations on Thursday, February 3, and Friday, February 4, 2022, at the San Marcos and Round Rock Campuses.

Due to hazardous driving conditions, the university shuttle service will be suspended. Transportation Services will send an email with additional information.

Limited dining options will be available on the San Marcos Campus for students who have meal plans. Students who live in on-campus residence halls will receive an email from the Department of Housing and Residential Life with more information.

Although another statewide extreme weather event like Texas experienced last February is not forecasted or expected this week, the university has taken the following steps to minimize impacts from the winter weather:

• Dining Services has reviewed inventory to provide food and water for all students in campus housing and staff who will be on our campuses.
• Outdoor solar charging stations have been installed at various locations on the San Marcos campus to supply additional power sources.
• Critical staff are being provided overnight lodging on our campuses.
• All emergency generators are fueled up and tested.
• Extra sand has been purchased and stored onsite to be applied on areas prone to ice accumulation.
• Redundant communication mechanisms are in place to help the university community stay connected and informed.
