Parking Alert February 15 - February 17
Due to the expected snowfall today, effective today at 3pm, February 15, 2021 through Wednesday 8:00am, February 17, 2021, all ONDRAK, JAEGER AND FOUNDERS’ WOODS resident student vehicles must relocate to the parking garage no later than 3pm. Our main priority will be to clear the main roads of campus. We will also take care to clear main sidewalks throughout campus, focusing especially on the walkways between resident spaces and student-centered spaces (Krasa (Benny’s), Rice Center and the Founders’ Woods walkways). Throughout the weekend we will work to clear parking lots and the general areas of campus. Clearing these areas will be dependent on the intensity and duration of the snow fall.
All faculty and staff that have a need to come to campus should park in the parking garage as well. If you are unable to move your vehicle to the parking garage this evening, please move it as soon as possible so staff can clear the parking lots. Contact the police department at 630 829-6122 if you have questions or concerns. Drive safely.

The BenAlert emergency notification system enables students, faculty and staff to receive alerts and notifications within minutes by phone, text and/or e-mail messages regarding emergency situations affecting Benedictine University. Alerts are short messages about an urgent or immediate situation. Notifications are follow-up messages that may contain more detailed information that are not as time-sensitive.
Snow Removal
The Benedictine University Grounds Department staff will remove snow from the residence halls, Founders’ Woods, general, and faculty/staff parking lots according to the priority level below. To facilitate snow removal from parking lots, we ask resident students to relocate their cars to the parking garage if two (2) or more inches of snow is expected. The Chief of University Police will notify all students by email when the University determines that snowfall would require students to relocate their vehicles. Students are expected to anticipate and look for a parking relocation message when snow is in the forecast.
If you observe any sidewalks or areas of unsafe snow conditions during normal business hours, please report them directly to Facility Operations at 630-829-6420 – after hours contact University Police at 630-829-6122. Priorities shift based on activities happening after standard business hours and/or on weekends.
Special attention should be given to walking and driving on campus. Remember that ice and hard-packed snow could be hazardous so safety awareness is important.
These procedures will be followed from November 1 – April 1.
