The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Watch for our region. Due to continually deteriorating weather conditions and in anticipation of street flooding, classes, activities and events at all Old Dominion University locations will end at noon on Friday, Oct. 2 and will not resume until at least Monday. Offices will close at noon on Friday. A decision about any changes to Monday's operations will be communicated by Saturday afternoon.
Due to inclement weather and early dismissal tomorrow, employees may request to use leave to be absent tomorrow morning. Supervisors are encouraged to be liberal in approving these requests, provided offices have adequate coverage until noon. Faculty and staff are asked to close down all applications and power off their computers and all peripherals (printers, etc.) prior to leaving.
Essential personnel should consult with their supervisor regarding their work hours.
Faculty, staff and students should use their best judgment when considering traveling to/from campus during times of inclement weather. For example, some students may choose to travel home early in anticipation of the storm. Remember, do not drive through flood water or into running water. For students choosing to stay on campus this weekend, residence halls will remain open and staffed. Dining hours and locations, along with limited activities for those staying on campus, are available on the University website.
*Webb University Center will remain open for normal operating hours. All other programming and events are cancelled. Additionally, the University Card Center will close at noon on Friday and reopen at 9 a.m. on Monday.*
