Weather Update l East coast campuses move to remote learning and operations: January 26, 2026 8:00 am

The National Weather Service is predicting a winter storm with heavy snow, wind, and freezing temperatures, starting on Sunday and continuing through Monday, across large parts of the east coast. Snow accumulation is expected to reach 12 to 18 inches in the Boston area, and up to 20 inches in Burlington, Nahant, and Portland, ME (Snow and icy conditions will impact New York, Arlington, VA, and Charlotte, NC.) 

We recognize that road conditions and school cancellations across the east coast will significantly impact many in our community. With the safety of our community being our top priority, Northeastern will move to remote operations on its Boston, Portland, New York, Arlington and Charlotte campuses on Monday, January 26.   

All classes on Monday will be held remotely. Administrative offices are expected to maintain business continuity. Managers and department chairs should use discretion in providing flexibility for faculty and staff whose ability to work remotely and conduct online classes may be impacted by school closures or power outages. 

Students who have difficulty participating online should coordinate with their professors.

Our dedicated Facilities crews will be working around the clock to maintain a safe environment on our campuses.

Dining Halls: OPEN ON SUNDAY (closing at 8 pm vs 10 pm); OPEN ON MONDAY (regular hours)

The safety and wellbeing of our community remains a top priority.
