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.

It was the location and the variety of majors that interested Jordan Guthrie ’23 in being a Charger. And it was the feeling she had when she visited that convinced her that she found her new home.
"The deciding factor was simply walking on to campus and having my heart race because I knew that the University of New Haven is the place for me," she said.
An incoming marine biology major, Guthrie will be part of the University’s Class of 2023.
"I’m looking forward to all of the opportunities I will have on campus, from attending the sports games to taking classes I am interested in to making new friends," she says.
"I wanted to study here because I learned that during a student's first year, we are immediately out in the field doing work."Jordan Guthrie ’23
She knew for a long time, she says, that she wanted to become a marine biologist. "I love animals, especially marine mammals," she says.
The opportunity to get out on Long Island Sound during her first semester cemented her decision to attend the University. "I wanted to study here because I learned that during a student's first year, we are immediately out in the field doing work," she says.
After graduating, she hopes to work in a marine mammal rehabilitation center or as a caretaker at an aquarium.
"I want to do anything that lets me take care of animals," she says.
