An Update on FAU Campus Operations

Thursday, Oct 10, 2024

The Boca Raton, Jupiter and Broward County campuses will return to normal operations on Friday, Oct. 11.

 

HBOI’s operations remain suspended until further assessments of the facilities can be completed Friday morning. Additional details regarding HBOI will be shared as information becomes available. 

 

Classes, including online classes, will resume as scheduled Friday, Oct. 11. However, in-person instruction at HBOI is suspended until further notice. 

 

The Florida Atlantic community has employees and students who live in areas significantly affected by Hurricane Milton, either in South Florida or across the state. Faculty and supervisors are asked to exercise flexibility with students and employees who may be experiencing any issues due to the storm and might have difficulty traveling to open campuses or accessing course materials/online platforms due to power outages and other hardships. 

 

To cover the lost instructional time, faculty can consider the following alternatives:

 

  • Poll your students for availability and reschedule the class (you should confirm space availability with scheduling@fau.edu) 
  • Eliminate or abbreviate class break times
  • Add assignments and/or lectures (online or otherwise)
  • Additional resources are available here

 

Units and departments are asked to report any damage associated with Hurricane Milton to reportdamage@fau.edu. Please use damage assessment forms and not the work order system to report information associated with this storm. Track all expenses, including time and labor, associated with the effort for cost recovery purposes. 

 

Resident students are asked to remove their cars from the parking garages at their earliest opportunity. Residents who identify any storm damage to the residence halls should submit a work order here. 

 

The Florida Atlantic Counseling and Psychological Services Center is open to all undergraduate, graduate and professional students and can be reached by calling 561-297-CAPS (2277). Additional resources are available through the Dean of Studentsoffice. 

 

For faculty and staff, confidential help or guidance is offered via the Employee Assistance Program website (login ID: Florida Atlantic University; Password: EAP) or call 1-800-865-3200.

 

If you have general questions, contact the Florida Atlantic Department of Emergency Management (em@fau.edu).
