Latest update
Forecasters have said that snow is expected to lead to disruption during Sunday across northern England.
In the event of snowfall, campus is expected to be open, however anyone travelling to and from the University is advised to take extra care.
Clearing snow and ice on campus
Gritting and snow clearing services from the University’s Grounds & Gardens team and external contractors are on standby ahead of any snowfall.
Their focus is on making sure that core access routes are clear, as opposed to individual buildings.
You can report ice and snow that is affecting access routes by emailing our helpdesk.
Travelling to campus
If you work on campus, please make sure you’ve read the University’s procedure for working arrangements during adverse weather.
You can find updates on road disruption via Leeds City Council, updates on rail via National Rail and updates on buses in the Leeds area via First Bus.
