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.

Get to know Paula Cappuccia, director of health services at the University of New Haven, and see what fuels her passion for helping people.
July 16, 2019
The lifeblood of the University of New Haven are the faculty and staff members who dedicate their lives to helping our students reach their goals. Periodically, we’ll introduce you to a member of the staff so you can learn more about him or her – beyond their day-to-day work. Next up is Paula Cappuccia, director of health services.
Renee Chmiel: What is your favorite book? What do you like about it?
Paula Cappuccia: "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austin because I love that period of English history.
RC: If you did not work in Health Services, what do you think you would like to do?
PC: I originally wanted to become a kindergarten teacher. I love being around people and getting to know them and helping them. I also love helping children in that age
range learn new things like their letters and numbers.
RC: What is something that people might be surprised to learn about you?
PC: I have a cooking series on the internet, Cooking with Kenshin1913, that I film with
my son, and we wrote a cookbook together. We have also gone to some craft fairs and sold many of our books to the public.
RC: If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would buy?
PC: That’s a tough one. After getting over the shock of winning, I would most likely take a vacation to Europe, and then I would help out my family.
RC: What is the most courageous thing you have ever done?
PC: I wouldn’t say it is the most courageous thing, but once I went up in a hot air balloon. I was a little afraid of heights, so it was kind of scary. It ended up being a
delightful time and really enjoyable. I would love to go again.
RC: What totally grosses you out?
PC: Snakes! "Why did it have to be snakes?" – Indiana Jones
