Dear members of the university community:
Given the situation of ALERT DUE TO ADVERSE METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENA in which the Autonomous Community finds itself, as accidental Rector of the ULPGC, I have contacted the Ministry of Education and Universities of the Government of the Canary Islands to gather information on the effects that can be produce because of this meteorological situation. The Ministry of Education and Universities of the Government of the Canary Islands has informed us that, as a precautionary measure, it has decided to suspend school activities in non-university education on February 28.
In light of this information and since it is impossible to foresee the scope and consequences of this situation on university campuses, it has been decided to adopt the precautionary measure of SUSPENDING, ON THE ISLAND OF GRAN CANARIA, TEACHING AND ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES, IN ALL CENTERS AND SERVICES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA, STARTING AT 00:00 TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, to avoid any emergency situation that might arise.
