Keeping the safety of our students and employees in mind, Old Dominion University will reopen on Monday, Jan. 8, with a delayed opening at noon and classes starting at 1 p.m.

Essential personnel should report for duty as normal, unless advised otherwise by their supervisor. Other personnel may need to report for duty as requested by their supervisor.

Faculty, staff and students are urged to use their own best judgment when considering traveling to campus during times of inclement weather.

Residential communities opened today and are fully staffed in preparation for students' arrival, but we recommend students move in on Monday, when temperatures are expected to rise. Please check local weather conditions before traveling to campus and email housing@odu.edu with any questions.
