Delayed Openings
The official start time at BSU is 8 a.m., so delays for the campus community (except designated essential personnel) start from that time. In the event of a two-hour delay, for example, the university will open at 10 a.m.
For students and faculty, all classes that begin prior to a delayed opening time are canceled while classes that begin after the new start time will run as normally scheduled. Please see the chart below.
