Physical Campus Closed Tuesday, But Courses Will Continue: Check Email & Moodle

Due to winter weather, LSU’s physical campus will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 21, but classes will continue in a format determined by each instructor. Options could include adjusting due dates, assigning a new independent assignment, offering asynchronous or synchronous class sessions, or other appropriate methods. Students should check email and Moodle regularly for updates and directions from their instructors on how to proceed. Please reference LSU’s Academic Continuity Plan for more details.

The Vet School will communicate separately with its students and staff about its operations.

Students enrolled in fully online programs offered through LSU Online should proceed with coursework as usual. For questions, contact lsuonline@lsu.edu.

The University Laboratory School and the LSU Early Childhood Education Laboratory Preschool will be closed all day Tuesday, and those entities will also communicate directly with their parents.

LSU Residence Halls and Dining Halls will remain open, but please check LSU Dining’s website and social media accounts for any adjusted hours of dining operations. For information on LSU bus service for Tuesday, visit the LSU Parking & Transportation Services website or social media accounts.

Essential employees should check with their supervisors about whether they should report to campus on Tuesday. Those who are unsure if they are essential should also check with their supervisors. The Office of Human Resource Management will send instructions for time entry in a follow-up email.

Non-essential employees should not come to campus while it’s closed, and non-essential staff are not required to work remotely on Tuesday. If there is an urgent need for faculty to address a research project during the closure, faculty should reach out to the Office of Emergency Preparedness at emergencyprep@lsu.edu before heading to campus.

Please watch your LSU email account, LSU.edu, @LSU social media channels, and LSU emergency text messaging for any possible updates. Those who have not signed up for emergency text messages should do so at myLSU by clicking on “Personal Preferences” and “Emergency Contacts.”

The LSU Office of Emergency Preparedness will continue to closely monitor this situation and will provide any additional information as necessary. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure both safety and academic continuity during this weather event.
