Remote learning and work on Sunday, February 22, and Monday, February 23, 2026

Due to severe winter weather expected, the College of Staten Island is shifting to remote learning and work on Sunday, February 22, and Monday, February 23, 2026
There will be no in-person classes. Students should check with their instructors for further details and monitor Brightspace for official course communications. Essential personnel are required to report to work and should consult with their direct supervisors regarding reporting requirements. Non-essential personnel will work remotely and follow guidance from their supervisors. We anticipate returning to normal business operations on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. However, please see the campus homepage for further developments.
