Coastal Carolina University’s Emergency Management Department has been closely monitoring Tropical Depression Nine (TD 9), which may become known as Tropical Storm Imelda, and the potential impacts to campus.

Although our area is not included in the National Hurricane Center's forecast error cone, fringe winds and rain bands will extend well beyond the center of circulation. The timing and magnitude of impacts are highly track-dependent and subject to change.

There are no changes to campus operations at this time. University operations, including classes, will proceed as normal on Monday, September 29.

Please continue to monitor the CCU advisory page at www.coastal.edu/advisory for additional details and updates.
