This cancellation affects all classes, labs, meetings and other activities scheduled at the downtown campus (including Harbor Walk and Avery Research Center), North Campus, Patriot’s Point, Grice Marine Lab and the Lowcountry Graduate Center.

All non-essential employees should not report to work. Essential employees from areas such as public safety, physical plant, residence hall and food service should report to work as previously scheduled. Supervisors should notify their employees as soon as possible regarding their employees’ work schedule for Friday. Supervisors also should work with their employees to make-up work hours at a mutually convenient time.

Per our fall semester make-up schedule, the College will hold make-classes/labs on Saturday, October 8.

Most biology, chemistry, geology and physics labs that meet on Fridays will have make-up labs on Saturday, October 8, the official weather make-up day. Students in these labs should check with their instructors to confirm make-up provisions.

All residence halls remain open for Friday and throughout the weekend on their normal schedule. Dining facilities will close on Friday on the following schedule: Liberty Street Fresh Food Company at 2:00 p.m., Einstein Bros. Bagels at 3:00 p.m.; and City Bistro, Chick Fil-A and Market 159 at 8:00 p.m.
