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.

The first deposited member of the University’s Class of 2028, Noah Nemiroff ’28 is looking forward to being a member of the Charger community.

When Noah Nemiroff ’28 began watching the television series The Flash, he soon discovered more than what would become his favorite TV show – he found a passion for forensic science. Fascinated, he was eager to learn more about the field.
This past summer, Nemiroff attended Columbia University’s National Student Leadership Conference to take part in the forensic science program – an experience that he says was “amazing.” He’s now looking forward to continuing to study forensic science at the University of New Haven.
“I chose the University of New Haven because it has the best forensics program,” he said. “It is a world-renowned program that will prepare me for the world of forensics. I am looking forward to an amazing learning experience in one of the best forensics programs.”
Nemiroff, who is currently a senior at Half Hollow Hills High School West in Dix Hills, NY, was the first new Charger to submit an enrollment deposit to attend the University beginning in the Fall 2024 semester. He will officially begin his time as a Charger in August as a member of the University’s Class of 2028.
As a Charger, Nemiroff is excited to get involved in the University community. He plans to join organizations that are related to his major.
“I am most looking forward to becoming independent,” he said. “I’m also looking forward to meeting new people, exploring new ideas, taking exciting and engaging classes, and, most of all, making lifelong memories.”
Nemiroff has visited the campus twice. He thought the size was just right – large enough to experience a vibrant college campus while also small enough to make meaningful connections. He says touring the University was a “wonderful” experience, and one he plans to repeat when he attends an Accepted Students Day later this spring.
“I fell in love with the campus on my first visit,” he said. “The people I met were all so kind and engaging. The campus is beautiful, and the people were extremely friendly. I am really excited to start my next journey at the University. I am excited to explore all that the University has to offer.”
