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 featured in The Princeton Review’s 2019 "The Best 384 Colleges" guidebook. It is the third consecutive year the University is featured in the well-respected guidebook that serves as a go-to resource for students, families, and high school guidance counselors. It is the fifth year in a row The Princeton Review has included the University in its annual ratings of the nation's top colleges and universities.
"Being recognized again by The Princeton Review is a testament to our high-achieving students and our talented faculty and staff who through their boundless expertise and tireless devotion enable our students to achieve more than they ever thought possible," said University of New Haven President Steve Kaplan.
"It is especially gratifying to see how strongly our students feel about the impact their professors are making on their lives and future pursuits and how much they enjoy being part of our close-knit and vibrant campus community." University of New Haven President Steve Kaplan
In the University's profile, students praised their professors who truly believe "their main purpose is to help us prepare to become leaders" and "are amazing and want to help in any way they can."
Students said the University is "full of academic, social, and professional opportunities" and that the relatively small population "allows the professors to get to know you and gives you multiple opportunities for research and other advancements."
Students also said their classmates "know what it is they want" and that everyone is "friendly and had a positive and welcoming attitude." They said the University community is a "huge melting pot" and described the campus as "refreshingly diverse."
Only about 15 percent of America's 2,500 four-year colleges are profiled in the book, which is one of The Princeton Review's most popular guides. It has been published annually since 1992. The rankings are based on surveys of 138,000 students.
"We picked the 384 'best' colleges for our book primarily for their outstanding academics; we highly recommend each one," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's editor-in-chief and the book's lead author.
