Inclement Weather Operational Update
Due to extremely low temperatures, standing water on roadways, and the potential for icy conditions, Lincoln Memorial University will continue to deliver all classes online on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, for locations in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia.
All classes at affected locations will remain fully online through Tuesday. Students should monitor Canvas for all course assignments, instructional materials, and faculty guidance.
For LMU locations in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia, University offices will open at 10:00 am tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Employees should use caution when traveling, and supervisors are encouraged to exercise appropriate flexibility based on local conditions.
This update includes all affected academic and administrative sites, including J. Frank White Academy.
Florida campus locations are excluded from this update and will continue to operate on a normal instructional and operational schedule.
University leadership, facilities, safety, and emergency management teams will continue to monitor temperatures, road conditions, and evolving weather impacts. The safety of our students, faculty, and staff remains the highest priority, and decisions will continue to be made thoughtfully based on local conditions.
Please continue to monitor official University communication channels, including University email and website updates, for any additional information or schedule changes.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to manage these conditions safely and responsibly.

Turnitin is both a stand-alone website and a Canvas integrated application for plagiarism prevention and detection. Turnitin checks submitted papers again 20+ billion web pages, 220+ million student papers, and library databases and publications. The Turnitin "Originality Report" shows how much of the student's paper matches the content in the Turnitin databases and allows instructors to easily see how much of the paper is unoriginal.
