Due to anticipated wintry precipitation and ice and their impact on roadways and critical services in the region, Florida State University’s Tallahassee and Panama City campuses will cancel classes and suspend normal business operations Tuesday, Jan. 21, and Wednesday, Jan. 22. This includes the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

Essential business operations will continue. Employees designated by their department as essential personnel should consult with their supervisors. A message to departments from Human Resources will follow with timekeeping guidance.

The university will resume classes and normal business operations at 5 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 23.

University officials continue to closely monitor weather developments. Stay weather aware and use extreme caution, particularly when traveling outdoors. Students are strongly encouraged to return to the Tallahassee area before road conditions are anticipated to deteriorate Tuesday evening. There is a potential for road closures around the region, that could include Interstates, Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Residential housing operations will continue throughout the closure. Seminole Dining locations will operate on an adjusted schedule. Updated operating hours will be posted on https://t.co/oO5awDcaMg and https://t.co/YyiIHIuy2O.
