Inclement Weather Information
Safety is our highest priority.
Weather or emergencies may require Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) administrators to periodically delay opening or closing the College. We monitor the weather services and all emergency communications regarding the weather event, as conditions can change from one minute to the next.
Inclement Weather Guidelines
PVCC classes operate as normal, and the College is open when primary and most secondary roads are passable. PVCC may cancel on-campus classes, delay the start of on-campus classes, or close early in the event of inclement weather. Decisions are made in a timely manner, usually by 6 a.m. in the morning (for closure or a delayed opening) or by 3 p.m. (for an evening closure).
Decisions to delay the start of classes or to cancel classes affect the main campus and all PVCC sites, including the Giuseppe Center in Greene County. All online classes (online anytime and online scheduled time) will operate as normal in the event of inclement weather even if on-campus classes are canceled or delayed.
