Both (Employee and Student)

Another low-pressure system is forecasted to move across the Southeast Region bringing showers and thunderstorms to Georgia Friday, January 12. Storms will have the potential to be strong to severe, but the greatest impacts to GCSU and Milledgeville are not expected until Friday evening after the close of business.

Georgia College & State University is monitoring weather forecasts. Normal business operations and classes will continue as scheduled. The safety of our students, faculty and staff remains the highest priority as we track the storms.

UPDATE: 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, January 9

The automated Front Page daily email announcement delivered at 11 a.m. contained an earlier weather update. The information below is the latest official information from GCSU as of 11:15 a.m.

The GCSU campus will remain closed today due to ongoing severe weather, as well as intermittent power outages on campus and in the downtown Milledgeville area. Regular dining services at the MAX will continue and a variety of lunch options will be delivered to West Campus for service to residents between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

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.

The National Weather Service Peachtree City predicts showers and thunderstorms will sweep across the area during the day Tuesday, January 9. Some storms may be strong to severe, particularly south of a Columbus to Eatonton line. Severe thunderstorms that develop will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes. 

The GCSU campus will have a delayed opening Tuesday morning, January 9 with normal operations resuming at noon Tuesday. All classes and campus events that begin before noon are cancelled. 

IT is experiencing an issue with one of our network routers, causing both wired and wireless outages in some places across campus. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. As an interim step, we are working to bypass one of our primary server rooms. While this might bring all services back up, you may experience a bit slower network speeds than usual. We will provide updates through both Unify and MyGCSU. 

We appreciate your patience as we work to get our network fully restored.

We have a new VP!

Network Services will perform wireless network maintenance tonight at 12 midnight EST and lasting until approximately 2 a.m. Please note that this will only impact the campus wireless network, not the wired computers (computer labs, classrooms or publicly accessible machines) or ResNet wireless. There will be intermittent service disruptions of the wireless networks during this time. 

The campus weather warn notification system has been tested and is now back operational.

During today’s weekly test of the Weather Warn notification system, our campus siren signal failed to function properly. We are troubleshooting the issue and will disseminate an updated status message on or before the afternoon of Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023. As further system tests are conducted, it is possible that an audible siren and test message announcement may be heard this week.

Our fire alarm network monitoring has been restored and the system is no longer reliant on manual notifications.  All system components are back to normal.
