Winter Weather

Out of abundance of caution for the safety of GSW students, faculty and staff, the University will transition to remote operations on Tuesday, January 21 and Wednesday, January 22. Classes will operate virtually, and students should check their GeorgiaView accounts for updates. All in-person University events scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday are cancelled. Residential students will receive additional information from Residence Life. Please stay safe and warm!
