The university made the announcement Monday evening, two days after a nearly two-hour memorial service to remember Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry.
The three were fatally shot after a field trip to see a play in Washington. Two others were wounded.
Former Virginia football player Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. faces three counts of second-degree murder and other charges.
The Cavaliers also canceled their game slated for last weekend against No. 23 Coastal Carolina.
