Longwood University campus will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026, due to inclement weather and icy conditions. We expect that campus will be open and operating on a normal schedule on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

While campus is closed, classes will not be held in person. Faculty should communicate with students about adjustments to the class schedule, which may include meeting online or alternative assignments. Students should check their email and Canvas for communications.

Faculty and staff who need to come to campus Tuesday for any reason should park in the parking garage. All other faculty and staff lots will be closed to allow the grounds team to properly clear them.

Please do not park in the retail spaces at Longwood Landings to allow for clearing the area. Students living in Lancer Park who have not already done so should move their vehicles to either the freshman or visitors parking areas.

Longwood University campus will be closed on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026, due to inclement weather and icy conditions.

We have been closely monitoring the weather forecast and preparing for the possibility of power outages resulting from Winter Storm Fern. In the event of a loss of power, Dorrill Dining Hall has generators and will be able to provide food. Dining services will deliver food to the POD at Lancer Park. Please be aware that if campus-managed residences lose power, toilets will continue to work. We will also open a warming station in Willett Hall, which has a generator system, phone charging availability, and working bathrooms in the event of power loss. If there is a power outage, we will work closely with the power company on an estimated time for power restoration and stay in communication with the campus community.
