Mandatory evacuation precedes a twelve-day hurricane closure

Tuesday, October 15 | 2 p.m. Saint Leo University issues “all clear” following Hurricane Milton Saint Leo University is issuing an “all clear” effective Saturday, October 19, for its University Campus, Tampa Education Center, and Center for Adult Learning locations following Hurricane Milton. This means that students, faculty, and staff may return to these locations and that classes and university operations will be running as scheduled on this date. Students who live in the Villa should be able to return Saturday, October 19. Barring any unforeseen issues, students who live in Marmion-Snyder should be able to return to Marmion-Snyder after 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 20.  We ask that Marmion-Snyder students who must return prior to that time contact Residence Life at residence.life@saintleo.edu before returning for an assignment in a temporary location or shelter. Students living in those residence halls will be contacted via email regarding their status. A restoration company with expertise in water intrusion continues their work on these locations this week. In addition, the Wellness Center will continue to be closed until its status as a shelter is ascertained. Students and employees who are facing hardships following the storm and are in need of academic or work flexibility should work with their instructors or supervisors to develop a plan for moving forward.
