St. Catherine University administrators and staff regularly monitor official weather reports and road conditions, including the National Weather Service storm warnings and watches.

The safety and security of the campus community is the highest priority, and the decision to cancel classes or close the campus is carefully considered.

However, if you feel that travel conditions where you live are unsafe, please contact your instructors directly to make special arrangements to obtain class work. The health and safety of the St. Kate's community is our highest priority.

Where to find University information

For the most current information from the University, call the Weather Hotline at 651-690-8666 (x 8666 on campus). The University always updates this resource first. Weather updates are also posted here at the news site, on the University's Facebook page and Daily Update on St. Kate’s intranet, KateWay.

If classes are cancelled, a message will also be sent out via St. Kate’s Alert System — so go to Kateway and sign up now!

The college will also notify WCCO-Radio (830 AM) and television stations WCCO (Channel 4), KSTP (Channel 5) and KARE-11.

Key weather terminology

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service has helpful information about weather terms and what they mean for your safety.
