Due to the complex and essential practice of removing snow and ice from the parking lots on campus for the safety of our students, faculty, and professional staff, the Office of Safety and Security and Facilities Management have developed a snow removal plan that will be enacted in the event of unsafe conditions related to weather. In this plan, it is essential to clear visitor, faculty/staff, and commuter parking lots on the day(s) of the snow event, which will allow for other lots to be cleared in proceeding days after the event ends.

When there is a predicted snow event that is forecasting measurable snow or ice, the Director of Facilities Management will send out a community email, at least 24 hours prior, indicating that the snow removal plan has been activated along with the “Day of Snow Event Map” to advise the community on which parking lots are available during the event and which are closed to snow clearing.

If the snow event is significant enough to warrant a full-school closure, the “Snow Removal School Closed Map” will be included in the school closure community email by the director of Safety and Security and will be in effect immediately. In the event of a full-school closure, late start, or early release, all lots except Residential and half of Lot #20 Campus Center (please see snow removal map) will be closed for use.

Parking in a closed lot will result in a parking violation for Obstructing Snow Removal will be issued in the amount of $50. In some cases, the vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense and issued a violation in the amount of $100. For copies of the snow removal maps for each phase of the snow event, please see https://www.une.edu/studentlife/security/parking.
