Marquette University classes are canceled Monday, March 16, 2026, due to severe weather conditions in the greater Milwaukee area. All classes are canceled regardless of modality – in-person, synchronous and asynchronous online.
The university is operational, but the following and other areas may have reduced hours or services:
- Alumni Memorial Union
- Facilities Planning and Management
- Information Technology Services
- Marquette University Child Care Center
- Marquette University Police Department
- Raynor Library
- Rec Plex
- University Dining Services (only the Cobeen dining hall, Commons dining hall and Brew AMU will be open)

Employees who are able to work remotely may do so with supervisor approval. If an employee’s job does not allow for remote work, they should work with their supervisor regarding options. Supervisors should communicate with their employees to set expectations.
Assignments due are delayed, and instructors are expected to communicate with students regarding their expectations for missed or delayed assignments and to clarify any changes in class schedule due to the cancelation. Instructors should see the policy for Severe Weather – Instructor Responsibilities when Classes are Canceled for further guidance.
The payroll department will provide guidance, via email, to supervisors for timesheet entry when classes are canceled and there is an operational disruption.
In general, when classes are canceled due to severe weather, most campus events and all student-organized events will be canceled. See detailed event protocol, including requesting an exception.
