Faculty Policies and Procedures Handbook

B. Hurricane Emergencies

The University of Tampa is part of a designated evacuation area in case of hurricanes. If a hurricane that causes substantial damage should occur, the institution may be closed for several days or even longer. Radio and television stations will be asked to provide information on the University’s status. The latest status reports will be on the University’s website, www.ut.edu.

In the event of a hurricane, members of the UT community are asked:

  1. Not to bring family, pets or personal belongings to the campus. They will not be safe and will not be admitted.
  2. Not to return to the campus until the area is officially reopened.
