The University of South Carolina Aiken is closed for in-person operations today as teams work to restore water service to the main campus, including operability of restrooms and on-campus water sources. After a main domestic water pipe on campus broke, the main water line was shut off to make repairs.
There is no interruption to water service for University Police, University Housing, and the Convocation Center. Water restoration to the main campus is expected Friday afternoon.
Classes and campus activities are canceled, and non-essential faculty and staff have been asked not to report to campus. The university will request today’s absence be forgiven through the Governor’s Office; however, annual leave will need to be applied in the event the request is denied.
Food service for on-campus residents is operating as scheduled with modified menu offerings.
Aiken Scholars Academy will transition to e-learning.
Additional updates will be provided as information becomes available.
