The Gwinnett, Griffin, Buckhead and Tifton campuses of UGA will make individual announcements regarding their inclement weather operations. UGA will reevaluate conditions conditions in the morning and will modify plans if these conditions necessitate an earlier closing time.

It joins Georgia State and other metro and north Georgia colleges and universities who are closing early today.
