University of South Florida Campus to Remain Closed Through At Least Saturday

TAMPA – Following damage sustained from Hurricane Milton, the University of South Florida (USF) will remain closed through at least Saturday, Oct 11. A decision on when to resume classes and operations will be made after further evaluation of the campus throughout the weekend. Below is a statement from USF:

Updated Thursday, Oct. 10 at 2:15 p.m. –

The University of South Florida is monitoring the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.  The safety of our students, faculty and staff is our highest priority. 

The university recognizes that many in the Tampa Bay region and state of Florida are recovering from the hurricane, and that this may be a difficult time for members of the USF community. 
 
Based on the latest information, all campuses will remain closed until at least Saturday, Oct. 12.  
 
All classes are canceled on Friday, Oct. 11, and Saturday, Oct. 12.  There will be no in-person, online or asynchronous instruction on Friday or Saturday. 
 
A decision about resuming normal class schedules on Monday, Oct. 14, will be made after teams from USF can further assess each campus and conditions around the Tampa Bay region.  
 
The university is working to get residence halls and dining options reopened for students as soon as possible.
 
USF will not be resuming normal business operations in person or remotely on Friday, Oct. 11.  Only USF employees who are 1) classified as essential personnel, 2) identified by their supervisors as critical to campus operations, or 3) working in a facility that will be open on Friday would report to work, but only after consultation with their supervisors. Please contact your supervisor if you are unsure of your status.  Supervisors are strongly encouraged to offer flexibility for those who need additional time.  This may include adjusting work schedules to ensure employees have the necessary time to focus on their safety.
 
The university continues to update the list of FAQs found here
 
USF leadership will continue to monitor the storm impacts and provide additional updates as soon as they are available. Any significant updates will be shared via usf.edu, USF’s official social media channels, MyUSF and email.
