Most classes will meet online the first week of winter quarter (Message to UW students and personnel)
To foster a successful start to the winter quarter, during the first week of the quarter — Jan. 3 to 9 — most classes will be held online.

Facilities at all three campuses will remain operational during this time — including housing, libraries, advising and student services — and research activities can continue in person. Buildings will remain largely open during work hours.
