Feb. 20, 6:30 p.m.
North Carolina Central University (NCCU) continues to closely monitor the National Weather Service and its briefings related to the snowfall for the Triangle area, beginning today, Feb. 20. NCCU will operate under Condition 2 beginning at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 20, until 12 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 21. Classes are cancelled through 12 p.m., on Feb. 21.
Under Condition 2:
“Condition 2 is appropriate when safety risks or logistical challenges are more severe and there is a substantial interest to have a relatively limited number of individuals travel to or remain at the university. In the event of severe weather events, University officials should consider the totality of factors including National Weather Service alerts and warnings, reported road conditions for major thoroughfares, law enforcement directives, the status of area mass transit, the status of campus utility systems, and executive orders from local government heads or the Governor. The Governor’s declaration of a “State of Emergency” or an advisory by the State Highway Patrol to avoid travel does not automatically necessitate suspended operations, but may be an important consideration in reaching a decision on the University’s operational status.”
Should campus operations change, we will communicate all updates via the Rave system (email, text and phone call), weather telephone hotline (919-530-7220), social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and on the NCCU website.
Faculty and staff should reference the correspondence distributed by the Department of Human Resources regarding the Adverse Weather and Emergency Event Policy.
If you see anything hazardous, please report it immediately to the NCCU Police Department at 919-530-6106.
