Campus Alert

San Diego Wildfires

Oct. 22, 2007 12:00 p.m.

As of 1 p.m., San Diego State University will be canceling classes for the remainder of day. The campus is also being closed for all non-essential personnel (as determined by their supervisor).

However, to facilitate an orderly exit from campus parking structures, faculty and staff are encouraged to remain on campus, indoors, until 2 p.m.

There is no current threat to the campus from local wildfires but classes are being cancelled to minimize traffic on county streets and highways.

Those remaining on campus - including students in residence halls - are encouraged to stay indoors to minimize their exposure to smoke and dust in the air. SDSU health and safety officials are also monitoring air quality on both inside and outside buildings. Air conditioning systems have been reset to circulate air and provide the best possible air quality. SDSU will continue to provide services for on-campus residents including dining service. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to check the SDSU Web site at www.sdsu.edu or call the university's Emergency Information Hotline at 866-794-8832 for updates.
