Student Services

  • Housing — Only First Year students residing in the McCormick Road,
    Alderman Road, Malone House, or Weedon House residence halls need to submit
    a J-Term Housing Application. The application will be available from the Housing Home page (www.virginia.edu/housing) under the "Winter Break & J-Term" bar in early fall. All upperclass housing residences, including Residential Colleges, will be accessible to assigned residents during the J-Term period, so no application is necessary for students living in upperclass housing. All students should be prepared for reduced services, and must take extra precautions for their personal safety.
  • Office of Residence Life - All January Term students will be supported by resident staff and are expected to adhere to the University's Standards of Conduct in addition to the terms and conditions outlined in the housing contract.
  • Dining Services — Meal plans will not be available for January Term. However, other dining options are being determined. In past years the dining options have included West Range Cafe, C3@Newcomb, Alderman Cafe, and Java City at the U.Va. Bookstore.
  • University Library Hours.
  • Parking and Transportation — During the January term, some of the services provided by Parking and Transportation are altered from the services provided during the regular academic term. For example, during the January term, University Transit Service will be running on a Student Holiday Service which provides full service on the Green Route, Stadium Hospital Shuttle, and Central Grounds Shuttle, 20-minute service on the Blue/Orange route, 20 minute service on a night loop. No Grounds Loop service or Weekend Service is provided during Student Holiday Service. Parking permit restrictions are enforced as usual throughout the January term and the Central Grounds parking garage is available at the regular rates throughout the term. Limited reserved parking may be available for the January term in lots not normally available during the regular academic term.
