“This week is the designated reading week so no classes or assessments are allowed except for certain programmes in the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS). Classes at the FMS will be online for this week,” UWI stated.
The Alma Jordan and Medical Sciences libraries will open today from 9 am to 4 pm.

The College of Science, Technology and Applied Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (COSTAATT) also put out a public notice that their campuses will be closed today because of the bad weather.
COSTAAT stated, “Faculty will contact you regarding alternative arrangements for classes. If weather conditions permit, normal college operations will resume on Tuesday November 29, at all sites. Please take all precautionary measures necessary to ensure your safety and that of your family.”
