Does an FSU ALERT message mean that classes are cancelled or the university is closed? Are absences due to an FSU ALERT excused?
The issuance of an FSU ALERT does not automatically indicate an alteration to the operational status of the university. You are advised to take the necessary temporary protective actions you need to ensure your safety. If you can proceed with your normal course of business under these conditions, you are expected to do so. If you cannot proceed with your normal course of business due to an alert, you are expected to do so once the alert has expired, been rescinded, or conditions allow. Any alteration to the operational status of the university, such as cancellations or closures, will be made explicitly in an independent message and posted at the top of the Alerts Page. Absence policies are at the discretion of your professor or supervisor. Consult your syllabus, professor, supervisor or Dean for more information regarding attendance policies.
