The West Haven area has received a significant snowfall with 16 inches of snow already on the ground. Due to this and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place: All in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026 will transition to being held online or remotely..
Campus operations for residential students will be modified based on expected conditions. Separate messages will be sent from various offices and departments regarding changes to normal hours of operation. Current students, faculty, and staff can find the latest information about operations on myCharger (login required).
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.
Residential students should be prepared to move their vehicles, if requested, for snow removal operations. If you are parked on a public street in West Haven, please move your vehicle off-street as a snow parking ban has been issued prohibiting vehicles from parking on all public streets. A list of off-street parking lots can be found on the City of West Haven’s website.

In a message to the University community, President Kaplan addressed the unlawful actions in our nation's capital.
January 6, 2021
Dear Members of the University Community,
Today, I have watched in horror at what has taken place in our nation's capital. Unlawful actions inciting violence are despicable and deplorable and truly are the antithesis of the ideals we stand for in our democracy. We must stand for values that unite.
As educated members of a community of higher learning, we will always encourage debate and foster an environment that cultivates a free exchange of ideas. Above all, though, this must be done with civility and humanity.
The unlawful action of those in Washington, D.C., who committed these acts, are, in a word, shameful. They are not rooted in patriotism, passion for our country, nor civil disobedience. These individuals are trying to intimidate, instill fear, and threaten our democracy. This will not – and should never – be tolerated.
Please know that social media posts related to today's events that have been reported to me and other members of the University community are of serious concern and are being investigated by the Dean of Students Office and law enforcement.
Regardless of our political beliefs or personal ideologies, we have a responsibility to continue to engage in constructive and meaningful dialogue. Our campus should be a safe place where everyone should feel empowered to share their views in a non-threatening and peaceful environment. I am confident this is a responsibility we will all embrace.
With best wishes,
Steven H Kaplan, Ph.D.
President
