LA Tech and GSU classes go remote, administrative operations return to normal

 

Both Louisiana Tech and Grambling State will resume somewhat normal schedules today following three days off from the winter storm.

Louisiana Tech

While major roadways are mostly navigable, dangerous driving conditions remain on rural and local streets as well as throughout campus sidewalks and parking lots. As a result, classes will be remote all day today. The remainder of campus operations will return to normal at 1 p.m., and we expect normal operations Friday.

Faculty are encouraged to use remote learning tools for class instruction during the inclement weather event. Classes are not to be considered canceled. Faculty will remain flexible with students due to weather conditions each student may encounter during this time.

University offices will open at 1:00 p.m. Employees unable to report to work should contact their supervisor. The Payroll Office will provide revised guidance for those unable to return today.

Food Services will open Tech Table at 10 a.m., and the remaining food service options will begin normal operations at noon today.

The Lambright will open at 10 a.m. and will return to normal operating hours for the rest of the day.

Grambling State

All morning classes (start times of 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.) will be delivered virtually. Face-to-face instruction of classes will resume at 1 p.m.

Employees will report to work at 11 a.m. and are asked to contact their supervisor if they are unable to safely do so.

McCall Dining Hall will open at 9 a.m. and closes at normal operation hours (midnight).

The men’s gym was affected by extreme temperatures and is currently without heat and power. Heating capabilities have also been disrupted in offices on the Douglas Hall side of the building leaving that area without heat. Facilities management and campus services is working to resolve the issue.
