Weather cancels SCPS classes yesterday

The School of Continuing and Professional Studies’ evening classes normally held in Charlottesville were cancelled yesterday afternoon because of the inclement weather, University spokesperson Carol Wood said. Classes at the Falls Church campus were also cancelled.
SCPS Senior Administrative Assistant Carol Brown said many SCPS students live farther from the University and drive to class, making it difficult for them to reach Grounds.

“They aren’t just walking from their dorms,” Brown said.

The rest of the University, however, remained on a normal operating schedule. Wood said it is rare that University classes are cancelled.

“We are here to serve the academic institution,” Wood said, noting that classes usually are cancelled only when Facilities Management personnel are unable to get to the University.
