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.

Recognized by Military Times in its 2019 Best for Vets college rankings, the University has nearly 300 students who are using veteran benefits, including veterans, dependents of veterans, and active service members.

Jordan Crooms ’18, 19 MBA, who was deployed for a year securing the Afghanistan-Pakistan border during his six years of service with the Connecticut Army National Guard, says the University of New Haven is a good fit for veterans.
"Staff members created a different orientation process for veterans to help us with our unique needs," Crooms said. "They make it easy for veterans to transition from the military into the academic world."
Crooms is part of a group of 300 veterans, dependents of veterans, and active service members who are part of the University community. The University is included in the Military Times’ 2019 Best for Vets college rankings, which provides the most comprehensive school-by-school assessment of veteran and military student services.
The University is part of the Yellow Ribbon program, which helps fund tuition and fee expenses for veterans, and its commitment to providing a supportive environment for veteran students has also been recognized by U.S. News & World Report and G.I. Jobs magazine.
Jacob Sibilski ’19, a paramedicine and biology double major, joined the University community after three years a junior officer in the United States Coast Guard aboard USCGC Active and USCG PATFORSWA (Patrol Forces Southwest Asia), working with the United States Navy in the Kingdom of Bahrain. He said he appreciates how the University’s faculty and staff members serve its veterans.
"They have the knowledge and experience to facilitate our goals, they work tirelessly to encourage us, and they take a personal interest in our progress," Sibilski said. "I have never had someone turn me away when I needed help or had a question, regardless of how busy they were at the time."
David Garcia ’19, an electrical engineering major, is in his tenth year of service with the United States Air Force. While he is looking forward to many more years with the Air Force, he is happy to participate in the academic and social experiences that the University offers.
"The veteran community we’ve created continues to grow. I can’t thank everyone enough for all of their support."Grace Jimenez ’21
"The internship opportunities were important to me, and the University does a great job of supporting that," said Garcia. "I’m also a Veteran Services work-study member, and I get to use my experiences to give back to incoming student vets."
Grace Jimenez ’21, a national security major, served in the Army from 2012 to 2015 as a medical laboratory specialist, and she is currently the secretary and co-president of the Military Veterans of the University of New Haven student group on campus.
"The veteran community we’ve created continues to grow," she says. "I can’t thank everyone enough for all of their support."
