North Carolina Central University (NCCU) officials are closely monitoring the Severe Weather Event expected to cause significant impacts to North Carolina this week. Weather models forecast heavy rainfall with the potential for flash flooding.

NCCUwill operate under Condition 1 (Reduced Operations) of the Adverse Weather and Emergency Event Policy on Thursday, Aug. 8, beginning at midnight (12 a.m.), through 11:59 p.m.As we monitor conditions in and around campus and potential impacts from Duke Energy and other service providers, this Condition 1 could be extended through Friday, Aug. 9.

During adverse weather and other emergency event conditions, employees should take reasonable precautions for personal safety.

Under Condition 1:

"The University remains open, but certain non-mandatory operations may be reduced due to more limited staffing. Mandatory employees must report to or remain at work. All other employees have the option to report late, leave early, or not work at all; however, the employee is responsible for informing his/her supervisory chain in a timely manner of all such decisions. Employees must code available leave for any work time missed during a Condition 1, unless the supervisor authorized off site work arrangements…"

Employees not working during a Condition 1 declaration are required to use personal leave.Adverse weather leave must be reconciled (made-up) within 90 days. Faculty and staff should reference the Adverse Weather and Emergency Event Policy.
