The contest will close on Monday, Dec. 1. This year, three winners will receive gift certificates for ThinkTank camera bags.

Come visit the Bruin Bookstore to take advantage of these sales, in store or online. Happy Thanksgiving!
Before you start shopping those Black Friday sales, here’s an item you should add to your Christmas list: YakTrax! These grippy straps wrap around your shoes and provide added traction for walking on ice. Don’t let slips and falls ruin your holiday plans. Tell Santa to get you a pair this winter!
Warning: Without special treads for ice you can expect loss of balance and potential strains, sprains or fractures, as most shoes do not have adequate traction for icy conditions.
This message is brought to you by your friends at Plant Services who care for the campus sidewalks.
If severe weather makes travel to or from campus unsafe this winter, the provost will make the decision to announce a shift to remote classes. In nearly all cases, classes will continue to be offered online.
In the case of a delayed in-person start, university offices will not open until an announced time in the day, most often 10 a.m. or noon. Students are not required to report to campus prior to the announced start time, but are expected to attend class online before the start time. If in-person classes are not held that day, students are expected to attend class online. You should expect to receive information from your professors on how to access remote learning.
The following is our process for announcing when there is a delayed in-person start or a shift to remote classes and work. The provost will make the decision by 6:30 a.m. for the Newberg campus and Portland Center for daytime classes or 2:15 p.m. for evening classes. Decisions on weekend classes and at the Redmond site will be made by the professor.
Stay notified: Here’s how to find out if a decision has been made when severe weather occurs:
More information on this change in procedure can be found on our winter weather policy page.
