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.

When Arianna Zambrano and her mother first arrived at the University of New Haven’s recent undergraduate open house, they met Charlie, and took pictures with the beloved mascot. They were excited to get an inside look at what it is like to be a University of New Haven student.
"I know several people who have gone to the University of New Haven, and they liked it, so I wanted to learn more," said Zambrano, of East Haven. "They spoke very highly of the academic offerings, in particular."
Added her mom, Ines Morocho, "This open house was very welcoming, and I like that it was very well organized."
"I wanted to share my love of the University with prospective students and their families."Bernadette Tiberi ’21
Zambrano was one of nearly 400 students who attended the University’s first open house of the fall semester. Students came from across Connecticut, and from as far away as Florida to learn about the University.
Izabella Mancini came from Brewster, New York, to attend the open house with her mother.
"I am very interested in forensics, and the University has an excellent program," said Mancini. "I like the welcoming atmosphere here."
Prospective students and their families – approximately 1,100 people in all – learned more about the University’s colleges and schools, student life, and living on campus, as well as topics such as financial aid. They met professors and staff members – as well as current students – and had the opportunity to tour the campus.
Bernadette Tiberi ’21, a forensic science and biology double major, was one of the ambassadors who greeted everyone with a smile.
"I love the welcoming environment and the opportunities here," she said. "I wanted to share my love of the University with prospective students and their families."
Brenda Page, who made the trip to the University from Sutton, Mass., with her son, said she enjoyed her visit.
"The campus is very nice, and this was a very welcoming experience," she said. "I haven’t seen anything like this."
