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 two years, Ashley Sosa ’21 has been involved with the University of New Haven’s Student Conduct Board, and she encourages students to get involved with organizations that enable them to enhance their leadership skills.

Being part of the University’s Student Conduct Board for the past two years has shown me how important it is to be a leader within the University community. The faculty and members on the board work hard to create a very positive environment.
My involvement pushes me to not only be a great board member, but to also be a better student leader on campus. The experience has enhanced my communication skills, and it has taught me how to deal with new or difficult situations.
"We work to resolve issues in a way that is appropriate, professional, and educational."Ashley Sosa ’21
I had the opportunity to participate in Leadership Day on campus, which was not only educational and helpful, but it was also an enjoyable experience that I was able to share with other students. I brought what I learned from that experience to the board, which was extremely useful for me and the students we interact with.
As a board member, we train each year, enabling us to remain up-to-date on procedure and policy and to get ready for upcoming semesters. One of my favorite aspects of the SCB is that everyone is diverse, but we all come together to work toward a common goal.
I believe it’s important that all students on campus know that the members of the board have one goal: to work to better the campus community, and to ensure the campus is a great environment to learn and a welcoming place to live.
We want students to feel comfortable and to understand that the Student Conduct Board is a learning experience. We work to resolve issues in a way that is appropriate, professional, and educational.
I encourage all students to try something new or to join an organization that enhances their potential – not only as a student, but as a leader.
