Forecasts expect temperatures to drop below freezing this evening causing pockets of slick surfaces. While nearly all campus roadways are clear, some snow runoff in shady areas may cause hazardous conditions on surrounding roadways and walking paths.\n\nAll other statewide locations should follow the same winter weather hazard decisions made by the county government where their office is located. A full list of delays and closings can be found on theSouth Carolina Emergency Management Division website.\n\nIf a student cannot make it to a scheduled class on Wednesday, they should contact their instructor directly.\n\nIf an employee cannot report to work on Wednesday, they should consult with their supervisor, and supervisors are asked to provide flexibility for faculty and staff who may have issues accessing campus due to hazardous roadways. Employees can work remotely if their job permits, take leave, or make up their missed work time. All missed work time must be made up by Jan. 31, 2022.\n\nCOVID-19 TESTING\n\n Main campus COVID-19 testing will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Wednesday.\n\nTRANSPORTATION\n\nUpdates to CATBus and transit can be found on theParking and Transportation websiteand on Twitter@clemson_parking.\n\nOther closures and adjusted hours can be found through the resources listed below:\n\nAthletics –@ClemsonTigers\n\nCampus Recreation –@CU_Rec\n\nDining Services –@ClemsonDining\n\nFacilities –@Facilities_CU\n\nLibrary –@ClemsonLibrary\n\nParking and Transportation Services –@Clemson_Parking\n\nPublic Safety –@ClemsonSafety\n\nStudent Health Services –@HealthyCampus",
