Cancellations due to inclement weather
If you need to cancel an event due to serve weather, please contact your assigned event coordinator or call 414-288-7202 as soon as possible. We may adjust our cancellation policy depending on the severity of the weather and other activities on campus. If Marquette University closes due to inclement weather, all events (catered and non-catered) on that day will be automatically cancelled. When possible, a member of the AMU Event Services staff will reach out in advance to confirm the cancellation.
