Dear Loyola Community,
Due to inclement weather, the University will move to remote operations tomorrow, Monday, Jan. 26.
Academic and administrative buildings will be closed to all except essential personnel. Resident students will receive separate communication regarding campus dining hours and other essential information.
Faculty and staff should contact their direct supervisor regarding work arrangements for the day. Employees whose roles require an on-campus presence should coordinate closely with their supervisor to ensure appropriate coverage and safe working conditions.
Faculty have the flexibility to choose asynchronous or synchronous instruction depending on the pedagogy of their department and college. It may not be possible for lab or music instruction to move to remote operations, and these courses may need to be canceled. Faculty will communicate their plans to students as soon as possible. If the academic calendar needs to be adjusted or credit hours need to be made-up, we will send further communications to faculty. Faculty needing assistance with Canvas and/or virtual teaching should reach out to onlineed@loyno.edu.
The University will continue to monitor conditions and share updates if additional adjustments are necessary.
Ashley McGowan, JD
Director of Risk and Emergency Management
Loyola University New Orleans
