UPDATE: 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, January 9

GCSU continues to monitor the severe weather affecting the state. Based on the data available from the National Weather Service, we anticipate the worst of the weather system will pass through our area mid-morning in the 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. timeframe.

Based on the latest forecast models, we will resume normal campus operations at 1 p.m., with classes that begin at 1 p.m. or later resuming as normal. We will provide mid-morning updates about lunch services at The MAX when we can determine how long a current Georgia Power outage in the MSU Building may last. Students should check the Passio GO app for updates on shuttle service restoration after the storm moves through the area.

Please continue to use caution and monitor conditions in your area. We encourage all faculty, staff and students to stay off the roads and seek shelter as the storm passes. Only essential staff should come to campus prior to midday if at all possible. Those living off campus should take time to secure outdoor items due to the incoming strong winds. In the event of emergency circumstances or a change in plans requiring immediate action, a GC Alert will be issued.
