Due to worsening weather conditions and the uncertainty of safe travel conditions, Bismarck State College has made the decision to keep campus closed on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The National Weather Service is forecasting 2-4 inches of snow today and another 3-5 inches tonight. Freezing rain, additional snow accumulation and wind gusts have also been forecasted for Wednesday and Wednesday evening.
 
Due to the impact of the storm and our concern for the BSC community's safety, BSC is taking the following precautions and giving the following guidance: 
 
  1. The Bismarck State College campus will continue to remain closed on Wednesday, Dec. 14. All classes and events will be canceled. Only designated emergency personnel should report for work.
 
  1. A decision about Thursday, Dec. 15, will be made Wednesday afternoon and announced via phone, text, BSC email and BSC social media channels.
 
  1. Students should continue to monitor BSC communications and be in contact with their faculty regarding their final exam schedules and modalities. Some exams may be rescheduled while others will be held virtually. Please make sure you know the status of each of your final exams and communicate any questions and concerns with your faculty.
 
  1. Campus maintenance crews are clearing the campus of large amounts of snow. For your safety and that of essential campus workers, if you do not need to be on campus, please don’t be. 
 
  1. BSC residence halls will remain open. Any student who will be staying in a BSC residence hall during this campus closure should communicate this to the Student & Residence Life office at bsc.housing@bismarckstate.edu if you haven’t already done so.
