The wintry weather rolling through metro Atlanta has caused Kennesaw State University to close its campus, interrupting finals week.

One forecaster said Cobb County is likely to get between 2 to 4 inches of snow Friday, especially in the northern and western part of the county.

Cobb and Marietta schools also made the decision to let students off early.

KSU will close campus at 12:30 p.m. and reopen at 10 a.m. Monday, which was supposed to be the last day of finals.

Now, all finals that didn’t happen Friday will be on Tuesday at the same times, said KSU spokeswoman Tammy Demel.

The first final that day will be at 10:30 a.m.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution could not immediately confirm Friday the level of thankfulness or jealousy from the student body upon hearing some finals were delayed.
