LSU Closed on Wednesday, Aug. 26; Law Center and Vet School Students Should Await Instructions
August 25, 2020; 6:10 p.m.
Dear LSU Community,
In light of increasing closures occurring around the state, LSU will be closed on Wednesday, Aug. 26, due to Hurricane Laura.
All classes and activities scheduled for Wednesday are cancelled, including virtual/remote classes, except those that are part of the LSU Online Program. Classes in LSU Online Programs will remain open. These classes are different from the on-campus classes that were moved online due to COVID-19.
Students in the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center and the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine will receive further instructions from those schools as to their status for Wednesday.
This closure includes the University Laboratory School and the LSU Early Childhood Education Laboratory Preschool.
However, all Rapid COVID-19 Testing Center locations on campus (purple PODs) will be open Wednesday for their regular hours. For information on locations, times, and how to set up an appointment, please visit lsu.edu/roadmap/health/testing.php.
Employees who are considered essential personnel should check with their supervisors as to whether they should report to campus on Wednesday.
Students
LSU residence halls and on-campus apartments will remain open for students who live on campus, and LSU dining halls will also remain open. Throughout the storm, the university will ensure that students in residence halls have access to meals. Please check https://dineoncampus.com/lsu/ for updates regrading hours of operation for dining halls. Students who reside in residence halls and on-campus apartments should shelter in place during the storm, which means remaining indoors and keeping in contact with Residential Life staff for any instructions.
Students should watch www.lsu.edu, LSU’s official social media channels, their LSU email accounts, and/or LSU emergency text messaging for any updates. Students who have not yet signed up for emergency text messages should do so at https://my.lsu.edu by clicking on “Personal Preferences” and “Emergency Contacts.”
Students remaining on campus should also consider where their cars are parked. Some parking lots are in low-lying areas and have a history of flooding. Students may want to consider moving their vehicles to higher ground.
The university will continue to monitor the forecast and will make decisions about Thursday at approximately 2 p.m. on Wednesday. Those decisions will be communicated as soon as possible. Any updates to the situation will be posted to www.lsu.edu and LSU social media.
Employees
Employees who are considered essential personnel should check with their supervisors as to whether they should report to work on Wednesday. Non-essential personnel should NOT report to campus on Wednesday. All campus buildings, including the Union, University Recreation, Bookstore, Library and all academic buildings will be closed. Please assist LSU PD by keeping roads clear and not traveling to campus on Wednesday. The Office of Human Resource Management will send instructions for time entry for the weather-related closure to all timekeepers in a follow-up email.
Faculty members who rely on refrigeration or have specific power needs related to their research projects should consider the potential for a power outage related to the storm. Please contact the LSU Emergency Operations Center at LSUEOC@lsu.edu as soon as possible if you have any concerns about your research and need assistance.
