Posted on

Pepperdine officials continue to monitor the weather conditions in Southern California that began today and are expected to continue into the week. Due to a set of unique factors – including a continuing disruptive weather pattern and the potential for heavy rain through Monday, limited visibility with increasingly gusty winds, debris flows and deteriorating area road conditions – business operations will be modified at all Pepperdine Southern California campuses on Monday, February 5, 2024 as follows:

  • In-Person Classes
    • All classes at Seaver College are canceled.
    • In-person classes for all graduate schools are canceled. Graduate schools will communicate directly with students regarding whether any classes will be conducted remotely.
  • Employees
    • Non-Critical Support Staff should connect with their supervisors and plan to work remotely unless otherwise dictated by department leadership. 
    • Critical Support Personnel may need to report to campuses and should follow established departmental protocols, contacting their supervisor for determination on whether to come to campus if they can do so safely.
  • Events, Student Services, and Dining
    • In-person events scheduled to take place at one of Pepperdine’s Southern California campuses on Monday will be canceled. 
    • Residence Life staff will be on-site at the Malibu campus.  Other student services remain available and accessible through usual phone or email methods. TimelyCare is also available for 24/7 medical/mental health support.
    • Dining Services will remain in operation for on-campus residents, and modified food service will be available on the Malibu campus. For updated hours and locations, please visit the Pepperdine Dining Services website.  

Pepperdine will continue to monitor weather conditions in the area. All employees and students are encouraged to limit driving on Monday, and if driving, to drive slowly and carefully, leave plenty of extra time for travel, and remain informed about conditions for Pepperdine’s Southern California campuses by utilizing the following resources: 

  • Malibu Campus Road hotline: 310.506.ROAD (7623) 
  • Pepperdine’s Toll-Free Emergency Hotline: 888.286.5659

University officials will continue to review conditions and provide an update on classes and any other weather-related impacts by early morning on Tuesday, February 6, 2024.
