Graduating seniors should work with their faculty to schedule and complete necessary exams. If necessary, graduating seniors can choose to participate in any of the commencement ceremonies on Friday, May 2 or Saturday, May 3. Since severe weather can develop quickly and without warning, please identify areas of safe refuge and be prepared to quickly move to safety if severe weather occurs. Please be familiar with UA’s severe weather guidelines and stay tuned to local weather sources as long as the potential for severe weather lasts. Persons traveling outside the UA area should monitor weather conditions to and from their destination. Gorgas Library and the UA Rec Center are available to students, faculty and staff who feel safer on campus than in their off-campus apartments. Students should seek shelter at these locations prior to a tornado warning being issued. After a warning has been issued, students should avoid traveling and seek the best available refuge area. The University’s emergency preparedness group will continue to monitor weather reports. If needed, updated information will be available on the UA website at ua.edu, through local radio and television stations, and via UA Alerts text and email alerts.
