West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has issued a state-wide emergency declaration.
To ensure the safety of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors, all campuses of Fairmont State University will be closed on Monday, January 26.
Operational updates follow:
Some personnel necessary to the operation of the University, including those who work in the Physical Plant, Dining Services, the Falcon Center, and Public Safety, are considered essential employees and are expected to report to work. If it is unsafe to do so, please consult your supervisor.
The Weather Committee is closely monitoring the impact of Winter Storm Fern. If additional updates are necessary, they will be communicated in a timely manner through our emergency alert system, email, social media, and the University website.
Note that due to this weather system, we anticipate the top deck of the parking garage will remain closed for the coming days. (This location accounts for a significant portion of winter slip, trip, and fall injuries on campus. To support the integrity of the structure, salt or other ice melting agents cannot be used. Structural deterioration from de-icers can lead to major repairs costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.) The University will alert motorists via large yellow signs posted at the traffic circle, near Turley Center, and at the top of the hill.
Fairmont State is pleased to provide the student aid calculator to assist you in estimating your costs to attend. Results are based on 2025-2026 Estimated Cost of Attendance figures and student aid eligibility requirements which are subject to change. These results should assist you in determining an estimate of your out-of-pocket expense to attend Fairmont State.
