UCF announced Tuesday that in anticipation of Tropical Storm Nicole which is expected to strengthen to a Category 1 Hurricane by the time it makes landfall, the university will suspend all campus operations and classes on both Wednesday and Thursday this week.
With the announced closures, classes will not resume until at least Saturday, Nov. 12 after the university is already scheduled to be closed on Friday, Nov. 11 in recognition of Veteran’s Day.
This means all classes on every UCF campus including online will have all academic assignments suspended until the university opens again.
UCF released the following statement for students and faculty on what to expect with the university being closed:
- All academic assignments, including all classes with online components, are suspended while the university is closed.
- UCF Housing will remain open and operational through the storm for all residents, and campus dining halls will remain open until 3 p.m. Wednesday.
- The early payroll deadline remains Wednesday, Nov. 9. Employees should report their time as soon as possible, and supervisors must approve it by noon Wednesday.
The University is advising students to stay indoors and off the road once tropical storm-force conditions arrive late Wednesday afternoon and carry into Thursday morning.
UCF says it will evaluate the conditions in the aftermath of the storm to determine when the university will reopen again.
