The university will remain closed Thursday, with only essential services permitted on campus.

Classes are expected to resume Friday morning.

However, if the storm persists, it will not open at that time.

Students, staff and faculty are asked to please check tru.ca/williamslake before going to campus Friday.

A decision about whether to open Friday morning will be posted on the website by 4 p.m. Thursday.
