We are continuing to monitor conditions in our region that may impact operations. Conditions in the area of the university are rapidly improving. At this time, UNC Pembroke remains open and operating with some modifications to scheduled activity.
Students and parents please monitor conditions in your area as well as travel routes returning to campus. We strongly advise students against travelling until Sunday. Conditions may be more severe in areas to the north and west of Pembroke; please ensure you have reviewed your entire route to campus before traveling.
We understand that students in the areas more severely impacted by the winter storm may be absent from classes on Monday. If you anticipate this occurring, please contact your instructors immediately to notify them of your absence. New or transferring students who have not registered can do so on Monday. For additional questions on registering, scheduling or weather-related changes to your plans, email askUNCP@uncp.edu. We have posted some of the most frequently asked questions at www.uncp.edu/askUNCP.
Faculty and staff in affected areas should notify their supervisor, manager or department head if they are experiencing challenges related to the weather event. Please ensure you travel only if it is safe to do so in your immediate area.
The safety of our students, faculty and staff will remain a top priority. We will continue to monitor conditions throughout the weekend and provide additional updates if warranted.
We look forward to having everyone back on campus safely this week!
