The University of Florida will return to normal operating status effective at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6. Classes and all academic and student-related activities, including online classes, will resume as well.
P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School also will resume its normal schedules on Tuesday.
While UF Health hospitals and clinics largely remained open, personnel at locations that closed should check with their immediate supervisors to confirm reopening schedules. Employees at UF/IFAS locations throughout the state should follow local guidance and check with their supervisors for information regarding reopening of their work locations.
Employees who have been affected by the storm are encouraged to speak to their supervisors regarding their specific circumstances. Students are also encouraged to reach out directly to their faculty about exam timelines and final project submissions.
While the wind threat from the storm may have passed in Gainesville, hazards such as fallen trees or branches and downed power lines may still be present. Do not walk in standing water, and do not drive through flooded areas. Use caution at intersections where traffic signals are inoperable.
Employees and students facing financial challenges as a result of the storm should visit Aid-a-Gator to apply for a grant.
Finally, check in with friends and family to let them know of your whereabouts.
