Class Canceled Friday, April 18

Out of respect for today’s events at Florida State University and in support of our community, classes have been canceled for Friday, April 18, but the College will remain open. Aspire Day on Friday and FSU Next Orientation on Monday have both been canceled.

We are remaining open to ensure support services are available, and our campus is here as a space for connection, care, and community.

If you need additional services, we are here for you.

We stand with our colleagues, friends, and partners at FSU and extend our deepest condolences.

Tropical Storm Idalia Update

The National Weather Service reports Tropical Storm Idalia has picked up speed and is tracking north-east, though there remains uncertainty around the exact track, size and intensity of the storm. It is anticipated that this large storm will be a Category 3 by the time it makes landfall, most likely Tuesday night. Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect for Leon and Wakulla Counties.

We encourage you to get prepared now by filling your gas tank, keeping phones and other electronics charged, readying your go bag, and removing any yard or curbside debris.

An update is expected later this afternoon as the track of the storm is refined.
