Find updates on the status of Clemson classes and office closings at these sources:\n\nOnly the governor can forgive time lost, so any part of your usual workday missed due to hazardous weather must be satisfied. Any announcement on TV or radio most likely applies to classes and students. A little further investigation may be in order.\n\nClemson University is a state agency with employees spread throughout the state. If the governor has declared all state agencies closed, Clemson will be closed. If the governor has not declared all state agencies closed and only portions of the state are impacted, you should investigate whether or not your Clemson work location is closed or on delay through these steps:\n\nFor updates on the storm and emergency planning information, visit the South Carolina Emergency Management Division webpage.",
