University Closing Information

The University of Central Missouri Lee's Summit campus is closed Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, due to inclement weather. Only weather-essential personnel should report to work. The Warrensburg campus will continue normal operations. University crews will be clearing parking lots and walkways, although many county roads and local streets may be slick. 

Online classes are not included in this closure. Students taking in-person classes should check Brightspace for updates from faculty members regarding alternative requirements. 

The shuttle schedule is canceled.

UCM Athletics previously announced schedule changes for Jan. 23-25 due to weather. For more information, visit UCMAthletics.com, UCM Athletics on Facebook or @UCMMules on X.

The university is continuing to monitor the weather through the National Weather Service, and we will keep you updated if there are changes that may affect future university operations. We encourage our UCM community to exercise caution given the predicted weather conditions and implement necessary safeguards.

We encourage you to monitor UCM’s website, ucmo.edu/closing, as well as UCMAlerts, UCM social media, your UCM email account and traditional media for information about campus closings or updates that impact UCM.
