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 journalists were interested in talking with international students and faculty about their experiences studying and working in the United States.
October 19, 2017
Twenty-three foreign journalists from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe assigned to cover the United States visited the University of New Haven on Wednesday, October 18, as part of a tour organized by the U.S. Department of State.
The journalists were interested in talking with international students and faculty about their experiences studying and working in the United States. The tour included spending the morning at Yale University and the afternoon at the University of New Haven.
The University of New Haven hosts students and faculty from more than 40 nations and is one of the few colleges of its size in the nation that had an increase in international students this fall. The University has a strong commitment to international recruitment and has alumni from nearly 100 countries.
"All of the international members of our community – students, faculty, and staff – have contributed to and enriched our University in countless ways." President Steven H. Kaplan.
Kaplan continued: "From the insight they contribute to classroom discussions to their leadership on campus to their participation in the Greater New Haven community, our international students help all of us to develop a more comprehensive view of the world and a better appreciation for and understanding of the many cultures, customs, and traditions represented on campus."
The tour was organized by the state department in response to media reports that indicate foreign students are increasingly choosing to study in Canada and other countries, rather than come to the United States, previously considered the premiere place for education. The reports say the students are intimidated by anti-immigration rhetoric and worried about their safety.
The journalists talked with students and faculty from their home countries, toured the campus, and listened to remarks from President Kaplan, Walter Caffey vice president for enrollment management, Kevin Phillips, associate vice president for enrollment management, and Shobi Sivadasan, senior associate vice president for graduate and international admissions.
The University of New Haven is committed to providing all of its students with a global experience, Kaplan said.
"Beyond opening our doors to and welcoming scores of international students, our global culture is very much a part of who we are as an academic institution," he said. "Our students are afforded a number of intercultural experiences that add depth to their education. We offer more than 500 different study abroad programs; rich programming in our Myatt Center for Diversity and Inclusion; and our very own campus in Prato, Italy, where students can study any number of disciplines."
