In-Person Meetings for Classes on Monday, January 26, 2026 are Cancelled; Online/remote classes to be held as determined by Faculty.
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.

Ava Noviello '26 and Dr. Henry C. Lee at the University of New Haven.
Ava Noviello ’26 became interested in forensic psychology when she was a sophomore in high school. In her free time, she would watch crime documentaries and learn about the different personality traits of criminals.
When she realized she could make this new interest her profession, she began researching the best schools for this field – and she found the University of New Haven.
"I chose the University of New Haven for the wonderful program in forensic psychology," said Noviello, of Portland, Conn. "I’ve been in touch with a few students who attend the University, and they speak so highly of the professors and the courses offered."
'I am most excited about meeting new people'
Noviello hopes to become a crime analyst. Accepted into the University’s Early Action admission program, she will be officially joining Charger Nation this fall as a member of the University’s Class of 2026.
"As college is getting closer, I am most excited about meeting new people and being introduced to new opportunities," she said.
A student-athlete, Noviello participated in indoor and outdoor track and soccer during her high school career. She is also her class treasurer. She looks forward to becoming a Charger and being an active member of the University community.
"I am planning to get involved in some clubs at the University," she said. "Being active on campus will give me the ability to meet new people."
