LSU to Close at 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 8

Dear LSU Community,

LSU will close at 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, January 8, due to the forecast of severe weather for this afternoon. All classes and activities scheduled to occur at 12:30 p.m. or later are cancelled, except courses in the LSU Online program, which will proceed as scheduled.

The closure includes the LSU Law School. The Vet School will communicate separately with its students and staff about hospital and academic operations.

LSU is planning to reopen as normal on Tuesday, January 9, but please watch email, emergency text messaging, LSU social media and lsu.edu in case that changes. The LSU Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be carefully monitoring the weather and will provide any necessary updates.

Essential employees should check with their supervisors about whether they should remain on campus after 12:30 p.m. The Office of Human Resource Management will send instructions for time entry for the weather-related closure to all timekeepers in a follow-up email.

Those who have not signed up for emergency text messages should do so on myLSU by clicking on “Personal Preferences” and “Emergency Contacts.”
