However, faculty opting for synchronous instruction should provide flexibility for students facing storm-related challenges that may affect their attendance. Faculty should communicate their instructional plan with students as soon as possible.\n\nAs a reminder, academic and administrative buildings remain closed to all except essential personnel.
