Duke Energy continues to work on the power outage. If a new estimated time for the return of power is given, we will share it promptly. The current estimate is midnight.
Residential communities should hold their heat for several hours. Given the cool temperatures expected overnight, students are asked to keep windows closed. Please minimize your movement in and out of buildings during the outage. If you are locked out of your residence, contact the RA on duty for your community for assistance.
Students concerned about their ability to meet academic deadlines due to the power outage should communicate with their professors about their specific situation.
