At this time, the College plans to follow its normal operating and class schedule for Friday, Nov. 11.
While conditions so far today (Thursday, Nov. 10) have been relatively calm, there remains a threat of severe weather through tomorrow (Friday Nov. 11). Forecasts still include the possibility of heavy rain, high winds and flooding in our region as a result of Tropical Storm Nicole.
As such, all students, faculty and staff should exercise caution traveling to and from campus the rest of the day today and throughout the day tomorrow. If you cannot get to campus safely, you should stay home. Just as was the case today (Nov. 10), students should communicate directly with their professors, if they will not be able to get to campus safely. Employees should communicate directly with their supervisors regarding adjusted work hours, leave, and/or remote work options for Friday. The College encourages managers to be as flexible as possible particularly with those who have dependents in K-12 schools that might have eLearning on Friday.
Faculty wishing to take advantage of the Storm Day Makeups previously scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday, November 12-13 (see https://registrar.cofc.edu/calendars/ac-2022fall.php), are certainly at liberty to do so.
The College will notify the campus community through the Cougar Alert emergency notification system if there are any changes to operations and class schedules for Friday, Nov. 11.
