- Due to significant and sustained emergency conditions, all university facilities are closed except Residence Halls, Central Dining Hall, Campus Markets, the Student Union, Student Recreation Center and Student Health Service.
- A limited number of mandatory employees may be directed to remain at or report to work under this condition. This is intended to assure an orderly shutdown of campus facilities and to sustain only the most critical campus utilities and services.
- All other employees, including those who are otherwise designated as mandatory but not needed for the particular event, are not permitted to report to or remain at work. This includes faculty. Contact your immediate supervisor if you have questions.
- Employees shall not be required to charge leave or make-up any work time missed during a Condition 3 event, unless the duration of the event necessitates a differing decision by direction of the President or by Executive Order of the Governor.
Please note for payroll purposes, the UNC System has authorized Condition 3 as retroactive to Thursday, Sept. 26.
