Please return to this page for news and updates related to Hurricane Sandy.
Due to the potential for widespread flooding and power outages from Hurricane Sandy, UMass Dartmouth will be closed Monday, effective at 12:01 a.m. All Monday classes at all UMass Dartmouth sites are canceled.
Because some campus services may be interrupted due to the impacts of the storm, residential students are encouraged to leave campus and not return until the campus is re-opened. For students who remain on campus housing will remain open and the university is fully prepared to provide the food and services to keep our students safe.
Nonetheless, extended power outages can be uncomfortable and students who do remain on campus should take steps to protect their safety and property.
Due to the threat of power outages that could interrupt University web and email communications, all students, staff and faculty are urged to update their UMassD Alert accounts. This will assure that they receive critical messages if campus power is lost.
University officials will continue to closely monitor the storm and provide updates regarding the campus status through www.umassd.edu and campus email.
Any students, faculty or staff facing a campus emergency should contact the Department of Public Safety at X9191 from a campus phone or 508.999.9191 from an off-campus or cell phone.
