Public Safety is tracking a significant snowfall that will be arriving in our area late Sunday morning (Jan. 25). It will snow heavily throughout the day and evening eventually tapering off Monday (Jan. 26) with 10-14 inches expected statewide. A sleet and freezing rain mix is also possible along the shore. Temperatures will be in the teens and twenties.
Due to this significant winter storm and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place, all in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026 have been cancelled. All scheduled in-person classes will transition to being held online or remotely. Additional information on the virtual format for each class will be provided by your instructor.
Faculty have been asked to prepare for Online or Remote sessions in the event of in-person meeting cancellations. These options will be determined by the Faculty member and all questions should be directed to the Faculty teaching each course section. Faculty also have been asked to be very understanding and accommodating of the individual situations of their students who may have difficulty managing these alternative online or remote class meetings on short notice.
Please note that only essential employees, as previously determined by their respective department leaders, should report to campus. All other employees should fulfill the requirements of their role remotely.
Campus operations for residential students, unless otherwise noted, will operate as scheduled, though hours may be modified or changed based on the conditions. Separate messages will be sent from the Peterson Library, the Beckerman Recreation Center, and Dining Services regarding any changes to their normal hours of operation. The Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation will remain open for residential students to use for study space and to participate in online classes.
Off-campus students that live in the City of West Haven should abide by the city’s parking ban during inclement weather to avoid having their vehicle tagged and towed. Please check the City of West Haven’s website for further information on their snow parking ban.

For Kimberlee Plude ’21, it is the relationships she has formed with members of the campus community that have most enriched her experiences as a Charger.
"Having such a great group of friends who support me no matter what is an invaluable," said Plude, a commuter student and fire science major. "I would not be where I am now without their help."
Plude says the University offers many resources – including some that are designed specifically for commuter students – that have been especially beneficial for her. She cites the Commuter Life Committee and staff in the Center for Student Engagement, Leadership, and Orientation as being most impactful.
"I think the University is good for commuters because there is always an event going on that we can get involved in," Plude said. "No matter what your class schedule looks like, there are always opportunities."

An Undergraduate Student Government Association senator who heads the Student Life Committee, Plude co-founded the women’s volleyball club sport and now serves as its vice president. A member of the University’s Fire Science Club, Plude is also the corresponding secretary of the Dungeons & Dragons Adventurers League.
