We researched the weapons policies of the largest education institutions in Virginia, including 15 public and 23 non-profit universities. We visited each site individually. In most cases these policies are found on either the Public Safety page, or the Student Handbook. If a school is not on this list it is because we could not find a public-facing policy. In some cases, the most recent policy is from a previous year. The list is not exhaustive, but a sampling of the most well-known institutions.
