Due to unsafe road conditions for Anchorage and the surrounding areas, UAA’s Anchorage campus will remain closed today, Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Students and faculty, when campus is closed for inclement weather, online and hybrid courses should continue in an online format. Courses that are held in person but that can pivot to an online format for the day should do so.
Staff, remote work can and should continue if adverse weather conditions permit. Employees who have remote work agreements in place, as well as those who can effectively pivot to working remotely, should do so even on closure days whenever possible.
Please refer to the full inclement weather policy guidance for more information about what this means for you: https://www.uaa.alaska.edu/about/administrative-services/departments/environmental-health-and-safety/inclement-weather.cshtml
