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.

This is a place where the world spins as it should. It changes with the world. And in some cases, it is changing the world. The university feels like a major part of this community and town. There is this separation but also togetherness. The beauty of the place and the intricacy and the complexity of it struck me.

There a lot of features of a metropolitan place that we have here in Charlottesville, but without some of the metropolitan headaches. Activities outside with friends and family, being able to eat at great restaurants, hang out at coffee houses, attend great art events. The cultural scene here is way bigger than a town this size should have. There’s always something happening. The riches of that are fantastic.

Charlottesville is literally nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Any scale that you want to be getting outside and seeing ncredible sites, we’re in a place that can facilitate that. The beauty of the outdoors around here is what drew me to Charlottesville, but the people are what made me stay. There are people that care about you, your family, and care about your goals and hopes and dreams. You want to be part of a ommunity that is constantly evolving, not in a rush, but gradually, so you can piece the place together and make it work you.

I think Charlottesville has a way of drawing people back. It’s home. It becomes home pretty rapidly. I have a connection to neighbors and friends that I’ve not had in any other city I’ve lived in. After a while, you wonder how you could have lived anywhere else. I remember saying this to myself after my first year-- I’m never going to take this place for granted. I’m never going to take for granted what I’m seeing. It’s just beautiful.
