Dear Students,
We are writing to share a few updates as the winter weather continues in Nashville. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Nashville area until Tuesday morning and we could see up to 6” of snow in total. As a result, driving and walking surfaces have become snow-covered and may be slick. Please be cautious as you navigate campus and the surrounding area. Additionally, please see below for updated information about campus operations impacted by the inclement weather.
Student Health Center: The Student Health Center (SHC) is currently closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Due to the inclement weather, the SHC is scheduled to open with limited hours tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16, for urgent matters only and will be operational from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Walk-in services will be available for those with health concerns that cannot wait until the SHC resumes its normal operations. Please note that all routine appointments set for tomorrow will be rescheduled. You can cancel and reschedule your appointment or connect with your healthcare provider at My Health at Vanderbilt. If you are experiencing urgent health needs while the SHC is closed, please call 615-322-2427 for assistance from an on-call provider or visit a Vanderbilt Walk-in Clinic.
VandyRides: Due to an unexpected mechanical issue compounded by the weather conditions, the VandyRide Shuttle Service is suspended until further notice. If you need on-campus transportation, please contact the Vanderbilt University Police Department (VUPD) at 615-322-2745, and an officer will assist you. Be patient, as weather-related delays may impact response times.
Campus Dining: Select Campus Dining locations will have modified hours today and tomorrow. Continue to monitor your VU email and Campus Dining Instagram for updates. You may visit vu.edu/menus for the list of menus and hours of operation.
Campus Mail: Station B Post Office is open today, although inbound packages may be delayed due to weather conditions. Please check with your carrier for updated tracking information.
Bookstore: The Vanderbilt Bookstore is closed today, January 15.
Recreation & Wellness Center: The Recreation and Wellness Center will be open from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. today. Currently, the Recreation and Wellness Center is planning to open tomorrow from 12 p.m. until 11 p.m. Updates to the hours of operations will be posted on the Recreation & Wellness Center website.
Campus Snow Removal: Vanderbilt University Maintenance and Operations (VUMO) is working to clear sidewalks, pathways, and roads on campus. If you see ice that has not been treated, report the location by calling 615-322-2621.
Campus Residents: Please keep your windows closed and doors shut behind you. In case of on-campus maintenance concerns, please submit a maintenance request through ReAdy and connect with your RA or the RA on duty for urgent issues.
We will continue to update you if there are further changes to campus operations due to the inclement weather. Please monitor your Vanderbilt email during this time.
Stay warm and safe,
Student Affairs
