The University of Georgia continues to monitor the development of the winter storm heading toward our area very closely. Based on updated weather models, we are moving to an early release with modified operations at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025. All in-person classes, campus events and activities will be canceled for the remainder of the day.
Faculty members are expected to ensure continuity of instruction for afternoon/evening classes 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.
Supervisors should provide flexibility through flex time to staff who need to leave earlier if travel distance or other circumstances make that necessary.
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 continue to work their normal shifts 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 will remain open and Campus Transit will continue to provide regular service, but closing times for each may be adjusted if weather conditions warrant. Check here for updates:
- Dining Services, visit: https://dining.uga.edu/about/policies.
- Transportation and Parking Services, visit: https://tps.uga.edu/transit/policies-documents/inclement-weather/
We will continue to monitor conditions and will provide an update this evening or tomorrow morning with plans for Wednesday, Jan. 22. 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.
If you have not already done so, now is the time to verify your emergency contact information at ugaalert.uga.edu.
