Ro-Anne Royer Engle, Ball State vice president for student affairs, and Alan Finn, vice president for business affairs and treasurer, sent a campus-wide email Feb. 2 informing students that Ball State’s physical campus will be closed from 7 a.m. Feb. 3 to 7 a.m. Feb. 4 due to the winter storm set to hit central Indiana.
According to the email, all courses are going to be held online during this time, and all nonessential employees are going to be working remotely. Residence halls will remain open, and dining services, the Student Health Center, the L.A. Pittenger Student Center and all recreation services will operate as usual.
Campus shuttle buses and Charlie’s Charter will not be operational during this time.
Royer Engle and Finn sent a previous campus-wide email Feb. 1 detailing the potential for severe weather conditions. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a winter storm warning for central Indiana the same day. The warning is to stay in effect until 1 a.m. Friday, Feb. 4.
