MODIFIED OPERATIONAL STATUS AT USMMA DUE TO SNOW – MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 2026

To ensure the safety of our staff and midshipmen, the Academy campus will be in a Modified Operational Status on Monday, January 26, 2026, due to inclement weather. 

Employees with an approved situational telework agreement in CASTLE are expected to work remotely unless they are taking approved leave. 

The Superintendent has authorized a delayed start for employees who do not have an approved situational telework agreement in CASTLE: Non-telework staff should plan to be a work at 11 a.m., or shall use unscheduled leave (e.g., annual leave or other approved time off).  For those who are at a critical level with respect to leave time, there may be a way to still telework on Monday, 26 January 2026; If OPM declares a closure and has the government operating under a Continuity of Operations Plan, emergency telework can be used.  Please work with your supervisors to ensure you are using “Safety” as your ultimate guidance with respect to the Academy’s intent to modify operations this Monday.  

All scheduled classes (first through eighth periods) will be conducted virtually.

We will seek to keep the library open depending on the availability of staff to provide student study space or connections to virtual class.

Faculty will communicate directly with students regarding the status of their classes.  

The Seafarer, Navy Exchange and the Navy Federal Credit Union will be closed.

Please note that additional emergency notifications may be sent to contacts on file.

T/V LIBERATOR

After serving as a training vessel at the United States Naval Academy, and then the Office of Naval Research, the Academy secured T/V Liberator in 2007. T/V Liberator serves as one of our most versatile operational platforms, regularly getting underway with Midshipmen. She can often be found cruising the waters of Long Island Sound and Southern New England.

T/V Liberator is stationed inside Kings Point's Hague Basin, on the newly renovated Mallory Pier.
