[Overshown, Jovan]

Baylor Athletics Staff,

Just a quick note to ensure you saw the university update below: campus will delay opening until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. Conditions on campus roads, parking lots, sidewalks, and exterior stairs are expected to improve by that time.

As always, please communicate with your supervisor if you have any questions or individual needs.

Thanks—and stay safe out there.

Jovan

[BAYLOR ALERT] Baylor University Waco Campus to Delay Opening to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026

Conditions on campus roads, parking lots, sidewalks and exterior stairs are expected to improve sufficiently for Baylor University to return to normal operations beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026.

Staff should telework until 11:00 a.m. and then report to campus. Staff who have questions, or those who are still unable to safely make it to campus, consult your direct supervisor. Classes that are scheduled between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. should be held via virtual instruction.

  *   For the Dallas nursing campus: Please watch your email for updates/instructions from Dean Linda Plank.
  *   For Baylor Law School: Please watch your email for updates/instructions from Dean Jeremy Counseller.

The Baylor University Shuttle (BUS), which is operated by Waco Transit, will begin running routes from the Ferrell Center to campus at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

Although we experienced some ice melt today on the Baylor campus, the moisture will refreeze overnight as temperatures drop into the mid-to-low 20s, making slippery spots even harder to see on roadways and sidewalks. Please use extra caution when you are on campus as some roads, parking lots, sidewalks and stairs may have slippery spots from today’s ice melt that will refreeze overnight before melting on Wednesday morning.

CURRENT FORECAST

The forecast from the National Weather Service includes a Cold Weather Advisory for Waco and Central Texas in effect from midnight until 9 a.m. CT Wednesday, Jan. 28. The forecast calls for wind chills in the single digits, as well as the possibility of freezing fog overnight, which could add another slippery sheen on existing ice.
