CU SAFE ALERT: Upstate Tropical Storm Warning Issued

A Tropical Storm Warning means that sustained winds greater than 39 mph (34 kt) or higher associated with a tropical cyclone are expected in 36 hours or less.

The highest risks from TS Zeta include high winds and rains in the very early to mid-morning timeframe. Be prepared for possible impacts:

  • Individuals should be prepared for possible localized flooding, high winds, numerous downed trees and power outages.
  • Be safe when driving. Already saturated grounds and high winds can lead to downed trees and power lines.

University Main Campus/Greenville Open with Delayed Operations; Testing at Littlejohn Suspended

Clemson University officials continue to monitor weather conditions as Hurricane Zeta approaches the area. The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the Upstate, with increased risk of flooding and high winds through the morning hours for the Main and Greenville campus area.

All in-person and hybrid classes scheduled for main campus and Greenville for Thursday morning (until 12:15 p.m.) will be conducted entirely online. Employees are encouraged to work remotely if possible, and should work with their supervisors to adjust schedules to ensure safety if in-person work is required. Those employees with critical response and emergency responsibilities should report to work as scheduled.
