Florida Polytechnic University Suspends Classes and Closes Campus in Advance of Hurricane Irma

Florida Polytechnic University has suspended classes after 3 p.m. on Wednesday in preparation for severe weather brought on by Hurricane Irma. The university will close campus from Thursday at 5 p.m. through Tuesday morning, at the earliest.
“The safety of our students, faculty and staff is our primary concern,” said Maggie Mariucci, Director of External Affairs. “We are closely monitoring Hurricane Irma’s path across Florida and we will continue to communicate with students and staff as we know more.”
School officials are working with local and state emergency response teams to prepare for the storm. An announcement of when campus will reopen will be made once campus officials are more certain of the storm’s path and potential effects. Students should check their email, University social media channels and Blackboard Connect (My Poly Alert) for the most up to date information from the University.
