Columbia College Hurricane Ian Update

Columbia College continues to closely monitor projections for Hurricane Ian and its projected landfall in South Carolina for Friday, September 30, 2022. Current projections indicate a high likelihood of strong winds and heavy rain with potential for flash flooding and dangerous driving conditions.

The safety of our students, faculty, and staff remains our highest priority, so all offices of the College will operate remotely on Friday, September 30, 2022. All classes scheduled to meet in person on Friday will transition to remote learning. Students should check email and the Canvas course site for guidance from professors. All Thursday evening (9/29) classes are to meet as scheduled. The Student Union Dining Hall will remain open for service to our residential students. J. Drake Edens Library will be closed Friday (9/30) but will reopen for regular operating hours on Saturday (10/1). Family and Friends Weekend is postponed until further notice.

We encourage our Columbia College Community to stay safe, continuing to monitor the safety of roadways as the weather progresses this weekend.
