To give our community time to prepare for Hurricane Milton \u2013 which is expected to impact Central Florida starting Wednesday \u2013 all classes and campus operations are now suspended today through Friday, Oct. 11. <\/p>\n
The university is expected to reopen for normal operations on Saturday, Oct. 12, and classes will resume Monday, Oct. 14. All academic assignments and exams, including for all classes with online components, remain suspended until Monday. <\/p>\n
Hurricane Milton is forecasted to be a catastrophic storm resulting in widespread impact across our state. It is critical that our students, faculty and staff take precautions today, and students are strongly encouraged to use today to return home if they are able. <\/p>\n
UCF Police will close all main campus entrances starting at 4 p.m. Wednesday until a damage assessment has been completed on Friday. Only critical personnel with badges will be able to enter campus during that time using Central Florida Boulevard.<\/p>\n
While UCF Housing will remain open for residents who have no other place to go, students who choose to stay in their residence halls will not be permitted to leave their buildings during the storm. Students who remain will be responsible for their own personal safety and comfort \u2013 UCF Housing staff and police and medical services may not be available during the storm, and we cannot guarantee electricity, water, wi-fi and food. Guests are not permitted in UCF Housing. All violators will be referred to Student Conduct and Academic Integrity. <\/p>\n
UCF’s Emergency Management team remains in active communication with our local National Weather Service office in Melbourne and the National Hurricane Center to ensure the university has the latest information. <\/p>\n
We will continue to share information through UCF Alert<\/a>,\u202fucf.edu\/hurricane<\/a>, and social media. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To give our community time to prepare for Hurricane Milton \u2013 which is expected to impact Central Florida starting Wednesday \u2013 all classes and campus operations are now suspended today through Friday, Oct. 11.
