GSR - Step 4: Develop Grant Proposal | Springfield College

Weather Alert

Due to the projected winter storm, the campus will have a delayed opening on Thursday, December 5, 2024. All campus operations will begin at 9:00 a.m. with the first classes at 9:25 a.m. This delay will provide Facilities Management sufficient time to clear parking lots and sidewalks for the safety of our community.

The Flynn Campus Union, Health Center, Wellness Center, and Counseling Services will also open at 9:00 a.m. Students with appointments will be contacted directly regarding any changes. Cheney and Dunkin’ Donuts will open as regularly scheduled.
