Oakland University has also declared a Snow Emergency in response to ongoing snowfall and is requiring all vehicles to be moved from snow emergency lots. The snow emergency will take effect at 10 p.m. today, Sunday, Feb. 1, and continue through 6 a.m. tomorrow.

To comply with University Policy 482, campus community members with vehicles on Main Campus must move them out of all campus lots except the Ann V.

Vehicles in designated overnight parking spots – except those already parked in the lots listed above – are subject to Policy 482 and must be moved.

Vehicles left in snow emergency lots after 10 p.m. will be impounded at owners' expense. Retrieval of vehicles will require payment of a $100 impound fee and may also involve storage fees of $20 per day.

The snow emergency declaration has been made independent of any decision to cancel classes or close the campus.
