9/27/2022

UPDATE: 9/27/2022 South Georgia State College administrators are continuing to closely monitor Hurricane Ian and the weather conditions for our campus locations. Currently, the tracks indicate the possibility for tropical storm winds and rain in our area. At this point, it is too soon to determine an exact path. Conditions may begin to deteriorate Thursday afternoon through Friday evening. Currently, no watches or warnings have been issued for our area.  

While there are no current plans to alter SGSC operating or class schedules, we will make decisions in a timely manner as soon as we have further information whether SGSC will cancel classes or make any changes to business operations.

Remember that any changes or closures will be announced via SGSC email and will be posted to www.sgsc.edu and SGSC social media platforms.

Faculty, staff and students at the SGSC Entry Program will follow the guidance provided by Valdosta State University.
