Inclement Weather

It is the policy of the University of Maryland, The Founding Campus to conduct business as usual on every scheduled day. Due to inclement weather, however, the Office of the President may decide it is necessary to close the campus. If so, that decision usually is made by 6:00 a.m. and can be accessed by calling 410-706-UMAB (8622).

The SMC Campus Center has authority to make separate decisions regarding building hours. When making an independent decision, we try to make the decision and provide notice to staff and cliental no later than:

  • 5:00 a.m. for a late opening or closing Monday – Friday  
  • 3:00 p.m. for an early closing Monday – Friday
  • 6:00 a.m. for late opening or closing Saturday & Sunday

Call 410-706-UMAB (8622) for the latest, most reliable, information on campus closings.  You may also check Campus Alerts online at www.umaryland.edu/alerts.  When the SMC Campus Center is open, individual staff may have to make their own decisions regarding the safety of traveling to and from campus.
