After careful consideration of the guidance received from city and county officials regarding the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, A&M-Central Texas leadership has determined that the university should conduct university business and instruction remotely, to the extent possible, to decrease the potential for serious traffic issues and emergency services delays. Classes are not canceled, but they will be conducted as remote sessions unless otherwise stated by course faculty.
Please note that the university is not holding any campus-wide events or on-campus classes on Monday, April 8, even though the campus will technically remain open for required services. Security/UPD and facilities services will be on campus that date.
Here are the primary points of contact for immediate assistance on the April 8:
Security & Public Safety:
Email: dps@tamuct.edu
Phone: 254-501-5805 (will reach the officer on duty via cell phone if not answered at the Welcome Center)
Facilities:
