The College will be open for regular business operations, classes and activities on Thursday, Oct. 10, and Friday, Oct. 11. This plan is consistent with City of Charleston and Charleston County governments. The College is closely monitoring the track of Hurricane Milton and will continue to update the campus as necessary.
All students and employees should exercise caution when traveling to and from campus Thursday and Friday. Faculty should be flexible with students who may have issues getting to campus due to weather conditions. Employees should coordinate with their supervisors regarding alternate work arrangements, if necessary.
Please stay tuned to local news and monitor the latest updates from the National Weather Service. The city’s TideEye app is a valuable resource for tracking tide levels and road closures due to flooding. The South Carolina Emergency Management Division maintains important hurricane information and resources on its website at hurricane.sc.
Please familiarize yourself with flood safety tips and resources provided by the National Weather Service. Never attempt to drive through high flood waters. Follow directions from law enforcement, emergency responders and College officials.
