Inclement Weather and Storm Closings
 

While we make every effort to run all scheduled classes and events, it is sometimes necessary to cancel classes and/or close the buildings due to severe weather.

There are several ways for you to learn if classes have been cancelled due to snow or other inclement weather. You can:

  • Call our storm line at 617-369-3900 and listen to the recorded message.
  • The message will also indicate if the buildings will be open and offices staffed.
  • Sign up to receive a text message or email by clicking here. The text message will also indicate if the buildings will be open and offices staffed.
  •  
  • Check a local media outlet:

If the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is closed, all SMFA buildings will be closed to students, faculty, and staff (except for essential personnel). For safety reasons, there are no exceptions to this rule. Building closure status will be indicated on the storm line message and on the text message service.

Also note:

  • If Day classes are cancelled, Continuing Education classes and evening events will also be cancelled.
  • If the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), is open, all administrative offices will be open and staffed, even if classes are not being held. 
  • The decision to close will be made prior to 6:15 am for an all-day closing, by 12 pm for an afternoon closing, and by 3:15 pm for cancellation of evening classes and events.
