With ice anticipated on roads and sidewalks and temperatures not expected to move above freezing for much of the day on Wednesday, the University of Georgia will close and move to modified operations on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025. All in-person classes, campus events and activities will be canceled throughout the day.
Faculty members are expected to ensure continuity of instruction by making up for the missed material through alternative means. This may include online lectures, readings, assignments, or other instructional activities, which are clearly communicated to students.
Essential personnel—employees who have been identified by their department or unit as critical to the maintenance and operations of the University, particularly providing essential support to students—are expected to report on time unless conditions prevent safe travel. Essential personnel should contact their supervisors for additional information.
All UGA residence halls will remain open. For on-campus residents in University Housing, please contact your community front desk or RA with any questions or concerns. If you become aware of any facilities-related problems, please report them.
All dining halls are scheduled to open at 8 a.m., but opening could be adjusted if weather conditions warrant. Campus Transit service has been suspended at present but will resume on Wednesday when weather conditions make it safe to do so. Check here for updates:

- Transportation and Parking Services, visit: https://tps.uga.edu/transit/policies-documents/inclement-weather/
The safety and security of our faculty, staff and students remains our top priority. We will continue to monitor conditions and will update the campus community as needed. Please continue to check emergency.uga.edu or UGA’s social accounts, including UGA’s X (@universityofga), for updates and other safety information.
Faculty, staff and students at UGA’s extended campuses should follow local directions specific to their locations.
