Cancellation and closing policy

The university determines opening or closing of physical buildings and operations

  • The university determines when facilities are closed, for any reason, and the status of university operations, indicated on the university status page.
  • See CPD office hours for regular business hours, and planned closings for CPD and the university. 
  • If the Blacksburg campus of the university is closed, Career and Professional Development is closed.

Sources for university status and what campuses are open

Workshops, presentations

  • If university operations are closed, for any reason, any event scheduled to occur during that closing would not be held.
  • If a specific, scheduled event is cancelled, this will be noted in the listing for that specific event. See our events page.

Career fairs

  • If university operations are closed, for any reason, any event scheduled to occur during that closing would not be held.
  • Career fairs sponsored by Career and Professional Development:
    If we cancel a career fair that we sponsor, we will note this in the career fair listing, and will notify registered employers.
  • VT-affiliated career fairs NOT sponsored by Career and Professional Development. Each event is sponsored by a college, or a department, or a student organization, and CPD has no control over those events. To learn about any possible cancellations or rescheduling, you should place reliance upon the information you receive from that event sponsor and their event website.
