Hurricane Milton Update #1 - October 6, 2024 at 2 p.m.
The College is monitoring the development of Hurricane Milton. At this time, based on the current projected forecast from the National Hurricane Center, the Rollins emergency operations team has made the decision to close campus and evacuate.
All in-person classes and events are canceled this week, Monday, October 7, through Friday, October 11. The campus will close at 5 p.m. Tuesday, October 8, except for emergency essential staff.
Residential students must evacuate campus and follow their Hurricane/Emergency Evacuation plan by Tuesday, October 8 at 5 p.m. The Student Outreach & Resource Center will help you in evacuating to a Red Cross shelter, if necessary. Remember most shelters do not accept pets.
Take medications, valuables, personal documents and course materials with you. When evacuating, empty and unplug your refrigerator and wrap towels around the base to absorb water due to defrosting. Unplug all power cords. Close and lock your windows tightly, and close blinds. Move any items that may be damaged by water off the floor and cover electronic items with plastic. Remove any trash and lock the door.
If you haven’t done so, complete the Hurricane Tracker in MyRollins.
Students will receive follow-up communications from their faculty regarding assignments.
