Academic schools will soon reschedule classes which were postponed following heavy snow in Lincolnshire on Wednesday.

In a statement to staff and students, Deputy Vice Chancellor Julian Free said: “We are continuing to monitor the current and forecast weather conditions and our expectation is we will be fully operational from Monday 5 March.

“I am extremely grateful to staff who have managed to get to the University this week and have ensured the campus has remained open and kept key services available.

“This provision has been really important for our community of the thousands of students who live on, or close to, the University,” he said.

The university will remain open during the weekend, with security on campus and the library running its normal, 24-hour weekend service.

Staff and students are being asked to take care when travelling to and around the campus, and keep an eye on social media and the University of Lincoln’s website for updates.
