Update: No e-mails or text messages were sent by WKU officials postponing Thursday’s finals because of weather. The temperature moved above freezing between midnight and 5 a.m., when Registrar Freida Eggleton said WKU would make a final decision. The National Weather Service’s most recent Winter Storm Warning for Warren County expires at noon Thursday.

Original: Students who attend class on WKU’s main campus face the possibility of more postponed final exams Thursday as inclement weather moves into Bowling Green.

If finals are canceled tomorrow, Registrar Freida Eggleton said students should expect to make them up Friday afternoon. An ultimate decision to cancel finals will be made by 5 a.m. tomorrow.

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for Warren County at 3:25 p.m. CT Wednesday that will last through noon CT Thursday. The NWS is predicting a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow across south-central Kentucky, with the mix turning to rain on Thursday morning.

Monday morning’s exams scheduled before noon were moved to the same time on Wednesday.

Final grades must be posted by faculty on Monday, but in the case of a delay, Eggleton said a decision may be made to push this date back.

WKU campuses in Elizabethtown, Radcliff and Ft. Knox will be closed on Thursday due to the possibility of inclement weather, according to an e-mail sent Wednesday by Bob Skipper, director of media relations.
