Students who require additional considerations regarding coursework, exams, or assignments should contact their instructors directly. Florida Fresh Dining will serve the campus community during the storm. Specific dining information can be found on its website.

Employees are expected to report to work at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. Employees who anticipate childcare issues should contact their supervisors regarding remote work or taking leave. Additionally, employees who live in areas north of Gainesville that may be affected more severely by the winter weather and those who require additional consideration should contact their supervisors regarding remote work or taking leave.
