Clemson University Upstate locations including main campus, CU-ICAR, GreenvilleONE, CUBEInC in Patewood, the Center for Human Genetics in Greenwood, and the Innovation Campus and Technology Park in Anderson will be closed Monday, January 17 due to hazardous conditions caused by winter weather.
Campus will be closed in accordance with the Emergency Closing Policy and using the Emergency Closing Procedure.
Teams are currently working to clear roads, but travel through campus and the surrounding area remains dangerous and individuals are asked to remain off roadways at this time. As conditions improve, additional assessments will take place and decisions for future operations will be communicated.
COVID-19 Testing
As originally planned in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day COVID-19 Testing remains closed on Monday.
- Students, faculty, and staff with a testing due date on a day that testing is cancelled due to weather, or on holidays will have their access extended until testing reopens.
- Bridge to Clemson students who have not obtained and submitted a pre-arrival result must take an on-campus test Tuesday (or when testing resumes) and will not have access to University facilities other than housing until a result is obtained.
