The University’s Academic Division will operate on a modified schedule on Tuesday, February 11th, 2025, due to inclement winter weather. Classes will not meet in person on Grounds, but we encourage faculty to shift their classes online, if feasible. Please communicate your plans to your students.
Designated Academic Division employees should report to work as scheduled
Non-designated Academic Division employees should remain at home unless requested to report to work by a supervisor. Based on the specific needs of a particular school or unit to maintain essential operations and to respond and restore normal University operations, supervisors may request non-designated employees to work either at home or at alternate work locations. Non-designated Academic Division employees who work from home should continue to work from home and follow their normal schedule.
Supervisors and faculty in the Academic division are asked to provide flexibility for staff members who have other responsibilities at home (such as childcare or eldercare) while continuing to meet the needs of the University. Any employee who is unable to work should contact their manager or supervisor so a reasonable accommodation plan can be made
Students and Academic Division faculty and staff should monitor the Academic Operations Status Board for changes to operations on Grounds.
For information on how to find your emergency event status, see How Can I Find My Designated Status?
Patient care services at UVA Medical Center, Ambulatory Operations, UPG, and UVA Community Health will provide its own message.
UVA Health team members should monitor internal communications and the UVA Health Status Board for changes to patient care and business operations.
University officials will continue to monitor weather conditions and will provide updates about additional schedule modifications or the resumption of normal operations. Please use extra precautions and allow extra time while traveling.

We were founded as a public university, open to all who have the talent and ability to move society forward. For that reason, we are committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need for every admitted student. In fact, UVA is one of only two public universities in the nation to offer both a need-blind admission process and a commitment to cover 100% of a student’s demonstrated financial need—a commitment that goes back to the reasons we were founded.
