With a winter storm expected this weekend (January 24, 2026), we know some online students may be concerned about power or internet outages. If you anticipate disruptions, we recommend reviewing your upcoming deadlines and reaching out to your professors early to share any concerns or, when possible, submit work ahead of time.

If an outage does affect your ability to complete coursework, communicate directly with your instructor about your situation when you can. Expectations and accommodations may vary by course, so your professor is always the best point of contact.

Please prioritize your safety, keep an eye on local weather updates, and take a little time to prepare. Stay safe and stay warm this weekend.
