Inclement Weather Plans

In the case of inclement weather Baccalaureate and Commencement will take place at Cameron Hall at VMI. Messages will be sent to student, faculty and staff email accounts and posted on the University's website, social media channels, and LiveSafe app.

Doors: Doors will open at 8:00 am, and a clear bag policy will be in effect.

Line-Up: Faculty will enter on the east (Diamond Street) side of the main level of Cameron Hall and continue to the lower level. Students will enter the main entrance and assemble on the lower level. Ushers will be on hand to direct graduates and faculty to their line-up locations. 

Parking and Transportation: We recommend allowing ample time to arrive at Cameron Hall, whether on foot or by shuttle, as construction is underway in the area. Traffic will be congested and parking is limited.

VMI's Core Physical Training Facility (CPTF) Garage, located across Diamond Street from Cameron Hall, will be available for handicap and special assistance parking. The South Institute Hill Lot, located across Main Street from Cameron Hall, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Shuttles will be available to transport guests to and from W&L on a continuous loop from W&L parking lots, including the University Chapel Lot/Corral, the Sorority Lot, Liberty Hall, the Boneyard, the Duchossois Tennis Center, Lewis Hall (Piney Woods), Woods Creek, the Parking Garage (lower entrance on East Denny Circle), and Graham Lees Residence Hall.
