Advisory: Florida Tech Classes Canceled, Offices Closed Tuesday, Nov. 3

All Florida Tech classes and university activities are canceled and all offices will remain closed Tuesday, Nov. 3, as campus cleans up buildings impacted from severe weather. Note that power has not yet been restored to all parts of campus. Additionally, water pressure appears low; as a precautionary measure, it is advisable to boil water before ingesting.

Only identified essential employees contacted by their supervisors should report to campus Tuesday. All residential students should limit their activities.

All normal operations, including classes, are anticipated to resume Wednesday, Nov. 4. Watch official university communications channels for updates.
