With a rise in temperatures and improved road conditions after Winter Storm Enzo, UTHealth Houston will return to normal operations and all in-person activities on Thursday, Jan. 23.

UT Physicians clinics will open at noon on Thursday. All telemedicine appointments will proceed as scheduled. All clinics at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry have reopened. UTHealth Houston Behavioral Sciences Campus lifted its emergency status at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22.

Starting Thursday, UTHealth Houston shuttles will operate on their usual schedule.

The university is open and operational.

We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions, as periodic freezing temperatures are expected across Texas through Friday, Jan. 10. Any change to campus operations will be communicated through the UTHealth Houston Emergency Communications website, UTHealth Houston ALERT, Inside UTHealth Houston, and university social media channels. We urge all students, faculty, trainees, and staff to monitor those communication channels, as well as local weather conditions.

Please stay safe and warm.
