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 University of New Haven is conducting its annual Alumni Outcomes Survey that seeks information about the employment/advanced education outcomes of targeted alumni groups, in this case specifically those who graduated last year and six years ago.
Every member of the Class of 2011 and the Class of 2016 should have received an email from President Steve Kaplan that included a link to the survey that asks basic questions about post-graduation employment, advanced education being pursued or achieved, your experiences at the University, and your satisfaction with your educational experience.
The survey should take five to 10 minutes to complete. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing for a $500 VISA gift card. All the information collected through the survey is strictly confidential.
"Data from this annual survey have allowed us to make enhancements to academic programs and improve the student experience," said President Kaplan.
These changes impact the value of your degree and our reputation as a high-quality, student-centered institution and are critical to the future success of the University.
Those who did not receive the email but believe they should have, or those with any questions about the survey, should contact Kristy Huntley, director of academic assessment, at khuntley@newhaven.edu.
