Given the limited campus operations, those with nearby alternatives are encouraged to consider staying off campus until conditions improve.\n\nIf a change in conditions is extended beyond 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 26, it will be communicated via Alert Carolina no later than 12 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 26.\n\nYour safety is our number one consideration. As a rule, students, faculty and staff must use their own best judgment about whether they can travel safely to and from campus. Please review the information and resources below to help you understand how a Condition 2 may impact you:\n\nStudents and Faculty\n\nMost Alert Carolina Adverse Conditions messages are sent to communicate a change in the normal operating status of UNC-Chapel Hill.
