Kauaʻi CC closed through Friday; Oʻahu campuses reopen following Hurricane Lowell

Contact:

Kauaʻi Community College will remain closed through Friday, September 11, due to damage and other impacts from Hurricane Lowell. In-person and online classes are canceled for the remainder of the week, and employees should not report to campus unless specifically directed to do so.

Campus officials are assessing damage and determining what work is needed before the campus can safely reopen. Students and employees are asked to stay away from campus while damage assessments and recovery work continue.

UH campuses and facilities on Oʻahu reopened Wednesday, September 9, following Tuesday's precautionary closure. The one possible exception is Leeward Community College's Waiʻanae Moku Education Center. Power has been restored to the center, and a storm-related road obstruction is expected to be cleared. Leeward CC will provide students and employees with additional information on the center's operational status.

UH leadership and emergency management teams continue to coordinate with state and county officials. Students and employees should monitor their hawaii.edu email, UH RAVE emergency alerts and official campus communication channels for the latest updates.
