We're Baaaaack......

You asked:

Q: Is it cold in the classrooms?

A:  Heck, yeah. It's cold everywhere. I mean, seriously, it's going to be 4 degrees tomorrow night. FOUR!  Welcome back to Chattanooga, crazies. Welcome back.

Though it seems wrong, UTC is more prone to winter weather during the Spring semester than the Fall, so though this week doesn't look likely for snow, you should be alert to changes as they might affect your day. First, make sure you keep on top of your Blackboard sites and UTC emails. Sometimes, not often, professors will have to cancel class even when the university is open. You would learn of those cancellations from your Blackboard announcement or from an email or both. You want to get those messages. Second, make sure you are signed up for UTC Alert system. It will text and email you about closings, delays, and other safety issues. If you haven't done it yet, or if you are new to UTC (Hi, new folks!), go here to get started. It doesn't announce all closings, though. Go here to read more about UTC's inclement weather policy. And if you aren't back to campus yet, make sure to bring a hat and a coat. You're going to need it.
