Winter Closure Alert
Be advised that the university closes for winter break December 20 at 5 p.m. Campus will reopen on January 2 at 8 a.m. If you are in the U.S. and have an emergency during this time, call 911 immediately.
If you are traveling and have a border issue, such as detainment, contact Kalamazoo County Consolidated Dispatch at (269) 488-8911 and ask to be directed to a WMU Public Safety officer. Our staff will also be monitoring the international student WhatsApp chats.
It's also good to review Western's closure policy during these cold winter months. Western rarely closes or delays classes, so always assume campuses are open unless you hear otherwise from university communications. More information about how to sign up for weather alerts is here.
