MIAMI – Florida International University will close at 2 p.m. on Monday August 18, 2008 and remain closed on Tuesday, August 19 due to Tropical Storm Fay.

Because our employees’ safety is a top priority, managers may exercise discretion in allowing employees to go home earlier. All university operations, including classes, orientation sessions and sporting events are suspended until further notice.

Incoming students who are scheduled to attend Freshman Orientation on Tuesday and Wednesday should plan to attend a one-day orientation on Wednesday. Please check in at 8 a.m. for the BBC Orientation and 7:30 a.m. for the UP Orientation.

In the coming days, the University community will receive regular updates regarding university operations. Please look for these messages, as they will contain important information regarding preparation, university operations and post-event recovery.
