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.

As Kailee Carneau ’19 M.A. prepares to graduate in May with her master’s degree in industrial/organizational psychology, she reflects on what she has learned and on the meaningful relationships that she has developed as an active member of the campus community.
April 16, 2019
For anyone who decides to brave the waters of graduate school, there can be a lot of "new" involved.
I moved across the country to Connecticut from Washington to study industrial/organizational psychology at the University of New Haven, and, looking back, I was quite apprehensive to move to a new state, study at a new school, and start my new job as graduate assistant for Graduate Student Services.
I was immediately welcomed by the GSS staff, and the work became the routine I needed when everything else still felt new.
GSS hosts social and professional events for graduate students throughout the year, supporting them along their academic journeys. The best parts of my work with GSS have been the opportunities to attend fun events, such as Broadway shows, and to develop relationships with other graduate students and staff. This position has enabled me to connect with many people with backgrounds and experiences different from my own. Getting to know others on campus who have shared who they are with me has been extremely rewarding, and it has made the University feel like a second home.
"Working as a graduate assistant in Graduate Student Services has given me a space to make an impact – and to be impacted."Kailee Carneau ’19 M.A.
While working at GSS, I have had developed important skills that I know will be invaluable in future career endeavors. I have learned about event planning, marketing, communication, and student affairs. Although I believe these skills are meaningful, they don’t compare to what my fellow student affairs staff and graduate students have taught me.
As I am nearing the end of my time at the University of New Haven, and as I see my friends at the final graduate student and campus events, and I am humbled to think that there was ever a time we were strangers.
Working as a graduate assistant in Graduate Student Services has given me a space to make an impact – and to be impacted. I am learning that the more I get to know those around me, and the more I let them get to know me, the less scary "new" feels.
