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. 

Employees who do not have an approved situational telework agreement in CASTLE 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.

Leadership Resources

Being a leader is difficult!  Don't do it alone. 

The Office of Student Activities is at your service as you gain leadership skills and manage your own organization/events.  Many of the skills you are learning in the Regiment are transferable, however student organization membership is voluntary. Serving on the executive board of a student organization allows you to develop your own style and make mistakes in a more controlled environment.
