UGA inclement weather and emergency closing procedures

**Due to inclement weather, the University of Georgia Athens campus will close at 3:30 p.m. today, Jan. 6. Activities and classes after 3:30 p.m. are canceled. **

In Athens, inclement winter weather often develops overnight. In such cases and depending on conditions, attempts are made to post announcements and notify media by 6:30 a.m. for the start of the class day. If inclement weather or an emergency develops during morning rush hour or during daytime on a school/work day, the same notification procedures listed above are followed.

When inclement weather or emergency conditions are such that closings occur two or more days in succession, the procedure is followed each day, with an announcement being made each day by 6:30 a.m. Because conditions can change unexpectedly overnight, an evening announcement usually will not be made for the next day except in the most extreme weather circumstances. On days when UGA generally is scheduled to be closed (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), the University does not usually make blanket closing announcements.

Even when the University is open, there could be unsafe travel conditions in your area. Please exercise caution and gather as much information as possible about weather and road conditions before you decide whether to travel during periods of inclement weather.
