Update Feb. 2, 4:10 p.m.
NCCU Community:
Out of an abundance of caution, the university will operate under Condition 1 (Reduced Operations) of the Adverse Weather and Emergency Event Policy on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 12 a.m. through 11:59 p.m. Travel to and from campus is expected to remain challenging through Tuesday due to cold temperatures. University leadership will continue to assess conditions in and around campus and issue guidance on Feb. 3 if the Condition status will be revised.
Scheduled classes will be held virtually.
EMPLOYEES
Faculty and staff should take reasonable precautions for personal safety. Non-essential employees are expected to work remotely and coordinate with their managers.
Under Condition 1, “The University remains open, but certain non-mandatory operations may be reduced due to more limited staffing. Mandatory employees must report to or remain at work. All other employees have the option to report late, leave early, or not work at all; however, the employee is responsible for informing his/her supervisory chain in a timely manner of all such decisions. Employees must code available leave for any work time missed during a Condition 1, unless the supervisor authorized off site work arrangements…”
Employees not working during a Condition 1 declaration are required to use personal leave. Adverse weather leave must be reconciled (made-up) within 90 days. Faculty and staff should reference the Adverse Weather and Emergency Event Policy.
A summary of campus operations follows below.
